IOWA CENTER. Old-Time, Piece. USA, Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Kentucky fiddler Clyde Davenport [1] (1921-) was the only source for this tune, explains Titon (2001), which is played at a slow, listening pace. Titon believes some of the "swooping cadences" recall those in "Lost Girl."

Source for notated version: Clyde Davenport (Monticello, Wayne County, Ky., 1990), learned from his father, Will Davenport [Titon].

Printed sources: Titon (Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes), 2001; No. 70, p. 100.
