OLD BEECH LEAVES. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The source for "Old Beech Leaves" is Logan County, Kentucky, fiddler Sid Hudnall (1891-1984), recorded in 1975 by field collector Bruce Greene. Greene remarked that Hudnall lived "in an isolated farmstead, called 'Happy Valley' because there they had escaped the curse of civilization all their lives." The reel is related to "Lost Girl" and Kentucky fiddler and banjo player Clyde Davenport's "Little Boy Where'd You Get Your Britches?.
