BUSH IN THE SHUCKS. AKA and see "Chuck in the Bush [2]," "Weber's Drift." Texas-Style, Breakdown. DDad tuning (fiddle). John Burke maintains that Luke Thomasson (Dallas, Texas) composed the tune known as "Bush in the Shucks" after a friend named John Bush. The story goes that Bush was observed to be rummaging around in the corn cobs and shucks near the outhouse; the tune commemorates the event. Not to be confused with "Shuck in the Bush," a different tune.

Recorded sources: Benny Thomasson - "Country Fiddlin' from the Big State" (mistakenly appears as "Dry and Dusty"). Voyager Records, Benny Thommason - "Say Old Man, Can You Play the Fiddle" (has both "Bush in the Shucks" and "Dry and Dusty").
