NO CORN ON TIGERT/TYGART [1]. AKA - "No Corn on (the) Tygert." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Indiana. A Dorian/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. There are Tygart Rivers in both Kentucky and West Virginia. Gerry Milnes states the tune is related to the "Gilderoy" family of tunes (which includes "Red Haired Boy" and "Salt River"). However, versions of this modal tune differ, some being more or less similar. "No Corn on Tygart" was in the repertoire of Northeastern Kentucky/West Virginia fiddler Ed Haley.

Source for notated version: fiddler John Summers (Indiana) [Phillips].

Printed sources: Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1), 1994; p. 165.
