History
USA/Ozarks/Western Tenn"USA/Ozarks/Western Tenn" is not in the list (IRELAND(Munster), IRELAND(Connaught), IRELAND(Leinster), IRELAND(Ulster), SCOTLAND(Argyll and Bute), SCOTLAND(Perth and Kinross), SCOTLAND(Dumfries and Galloway), SCOTLAND(South Ayrshire), SCOTLAND(North East), SCOTLAND(Highland), ...) of allowed values for the "Has historical geographical allegiances" property.
CORNWALLIS'S SURRENDER. Old-Time Breakdown. USA, Arkansas. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Irregular in the two-measure 2nd strain. Drew Beisswenger (2008) points out similarties to "Dance All Night/Give the Fiddler a Dram." Source Morrison liked tunes with historical connotations (see his "British March" which he also associated with the surrender at Yorktown), although the origins of this tune are obscure.
Source for notated version: Absie Morrison (1876-1964, Searcy County, Arkansas) [Beisswenger & McCann].
