WHOA MULE [2]. American, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBBB. A version from contest fiddler John Francis, with similarities to “Whoa Mule (1).” Francis attended his first fiddle competition in 1967 as a young 12-year old fiddler, and since then has won or placed in nearly every fiddle contest in the Western United States. John Hartford transcribed the tune from the playing of renowned mid-20th century Texas fiddler Major Franklin, noting that the tune was very similar to Fiddlin' Arthur Smith's "Lost Train Blues."
