LITTLE PEG N' AWL. American, Reel (cut time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. The peg and awl were tools of the shoemaker's trade. The Carolina Tar Heels recorded a (musically unrelated) song called "Peg and Awl" ((Victor V-40007) in 1928, about the rejoicing of a shoemaker when a machine is invented that reduces the toil of wielding the implements to make shoes.
