BUCK CREEK GIRL(S)/GAL. AKA and see "Wild Horse," "Old Dad," "Ston(e)y Point [1]," "Pigtown Fling." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; southwest Virginia, eastern Kentucky, Arkansas. In the repertoire of Fiddlin' Cowan Powers 1877-1952? (Russell County, southwestern Va.) and recorded by him in 1924 for Victor, though not issued. The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954. To Randolph, who says Ozark fiddlers consider the tune "ancient and difficult to play," the tune "sounds like common old 'Stoney Point.'" Wolfe (1982) identifies a tune by this title as a driving banjo tune recorded in the 1920's by eastern Kentucky musicians.
