COMING UP THE TURNPIKE. AKA - "Coming Up the Pike." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Arkansas, Missouri. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was recorded for the Library of Congress in the early 1940's by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, from Ozark Mountain fiddlers, among them William Bilyeu (1943) and Delbert McGrath (1942). The 'A' part resembles "Fort Smith [1]," while other similarities can be found in "Old Buzzard [1]," and "Nubbin Ridge." Source for notated version: Art Gabraith (1909-1993, near Springfield, Mo.), learned from a member of the Bilyeu family (Ozark, Mo.) [Beisswenger & McCann].
