BILLY WILSON [1]. AKA and see "Ace of Spades," "Little Billy Wilson," "Old Bill Wilson," "Reel des charretiers." American, Reel. A Major. Standard or AEae tunings (fiddle). ABC (Silberberg): AABBCC (Kuntz, Phillips). "Billy Wilson" features pizzicato, or plucked notes. A three-part version was synthesized by fiddler and musicologist Joel Shimberg and entered 'revival' tradition, although based on Uncle Jimmy Thompson's "Billy Wilson (2)" (1927). Most modern versions are based on Shimberg's tune, originally called "Old Bill Wilson." "Billy Wilson (1) " is a later part of Texas fiddler Eck Robertson's "Brilliancy Medley." The first strain is shared with North Dakota fiddler biography:Joe Pancerzewski's "Original Canadian Hoedown" and the first strain also appears fiddler Arthur-Joseph (A.J.) Boulay's (1883-1948) "Reel des charretiers" (Carter's Reel), recorded in 1930 in Montreal.
