Back to Walking Plow Reel


WALKING PLOW REEL. American, Reel. USA, North Dakota. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Pancerzewski explains that the walking plow was once a mainstay for homesteaders on the prairie. Originally made of wood, then metal around World War I, the plow was pulled by three large steers or horses while a man walked directly behind it to guide it.

Source for notated version: the four fiddling Nelson Brothers (Grinnell, North Dakota) [Pancerzewski]. There is a picture of the musical Nelson family on p. 19 of Pancerzewski's Pleasures of Home (1988).

Printed sources: Pancerzewski (Pleasures of Home), 1988; p. 19.

Recorded sources: Voyager 341, Joe Pancerzewski - "Legendary Northwest Fiddler"
