MAGNOLIA ONE-STEP. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Mississippi. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCDD. The tune was recorded by the Nations Brothers in the 78 RPM era. Kerry Blech concludes that Stacy Phillips is mistaken in listing Willie Narmour as the source for the tune, as the title does not appear on Narmour's discography. The only older recording of "Magnolia One-Step" is from the Nations Brothers, and it may be that the tune in Phillips' book is from a mislabled tape. "Get Up in the Cool" is a related melody.
