OLD DRAKE. Old-Time. The tonality wavers between A and D. AEae tuning (fiddle). The modal tune was apparently in the repertoire of West Virginia fiddler biography:Edden Hammons, however, the tune that appears on SA-2, "The Edden Hammons Collection, vol. 2" is "Big Fancy," which appears on the first volume of the collection (SA-1) under its correct title. "Old Drake" was in the repertoire of Dwight Diller [1], and of the group The Raincrows and their fiddler Jimmy Tripplet.
