COAL CREEK. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. A Mixolydian. AEae tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. A different tune than "Coal Creek March." The tune was played by only one fiddler, Manon Campbell (1890-1987), who said it was the first tune he learned to play as a boy of ten or eleven, obtained from local sources (Titon, 2001). Campbell told Mark Wilson the tune at one time had words attached to it, although he could not remember them. Joel Shimberg points out this tune is a close relative of West Virginia fiddler Oscar Wright's "Shootin' Creek."
