CROCKETT'S HONEYMOON. AKA - "George Ainley's Tune." AKA and see "Honeymoon Reel (1)," "Maid Who Left the Mountains (The)." Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Songer): AA'BB' (Phillips). The name "Crockett's Honeymoon" (or, sometimes, "Crockett's Wedding") appears to have originated in the 1970's, attached (perhaps by George Ainley) to an untitled tune contained in a medley on a 1920's recording by Crockett's Kentucky Mountaineers. The alternate title "George Ainley's Tune" comes from the recording by the Fat Meat Boys. A similar, and perhaps originally titled, American tune is "Maid Who Left the Mountains (The)." Under the title "Honeymoon (The)" it appears in the c. 1883 Ryan's Mammoth Collection.
Sources for notated versions: Ruthie Dornfeld (Seattle, Washington) [Phillips]; Ron Andrico (Portland, Oregon) [Songer].
