LAKE ERIE. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. A Major (Sharp): D Major (Songer). A fiddle tune from the repertoire of Cumberland Plateau, Kentucky/Tennessee, fiddler John Sharp, recorded in the 1940's by his neighbor, the former Sergeant Alvin York, a hero of World War I. The tune was originally in 'A', however, Blech moved it to the key of 'D' as he felt in played better. Similar in the first strain to "Bile Them Cabbage Down."
