SHAKER BEN. American, Reel (cut time). USA, central Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B or AABB. The tune was recorded for Gennett Records by a Jessamine County, Kentucky, band called The Walter Family (Draper Walter, fiddler) in 1933. The name derives, according to Guthrie Meade (1980), from a Shaker community located in Pleasant Hill, just west of Jessamine. Jeff Titon (2001) notes that Shaker Bend is a place name in the Kentucky River below Shakertown. The title has also been collected from Anderson County, Kentucky, and was played by Jessamine County fiddler Jim Booker.
