NEW MONEY. American, Reel (cut time). USA, eastern Kentucky. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Doc Roberts [1] (1897-1978) recorded this indigenous east-central Kentucky tune in the 1920's (learned from Elzic/Elza/Elzie Stone [see picture below, right) of Mt. Sterling, Montgomery County, Ky., at a fiddle contest, according to Richard Nevins[1]. Robertson, born on Curtis Pike in Madison County, Kentucky, recorded extensively with Gennett, ARC and Paramount. His repertoire consisted mostly of regional tunes and he paid little attention to outside music[2], however, his repertoire was not archaic, and "New Money" illustrates blues and ragtime influences. The consistently sharped 'f' notes in the tune put it in the lydian mode, although this was unintentional; rather it was an artifact of habit since most fiddle tunes (in keys of G, D and A) require an 'f' sharp note.
