INJUN ET A WOODCHUCK [1]. AKA and see "Such a Gittin' Upstairs (2)" (Pa.). Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Both [primary and secondary titles given by southwestern Pa. fiddlers are floaters, according to Bayard (1981). The melody has some similarity to "The Fife Hunt" and "Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad." I see some faint resemblences to both "Indian Killed a Woodcock" and "Indian Nation."
