NUBBIN. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Arkansas. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Source Jesse Wallace was unsure that "Nubbin" was the title of the tune, learned from Albert Lawrence (for which he also called it "Albert's Tune"). Vance Randolph included a tune called "Come Get Your Nubbin" in his 1954 list of Ozarks fiddle tunes, but its relationship to Wallace's tune is unknown. Drew Beisswenger (2008) notes that the second strain of "Nubbin" is similar to the second strain of Cyril Stinnett's "Padgett."
