OLD PARNELL REEL. AKA and see "Hotfoot." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. See also "Whistling Rufus," which, according to Mark Wilson, may be a related tune. Wilson sees similarities between this tune and the calk-walk genre.

Sources for notated versions: Bob Walters (Burt County, Nebraska) [Christeson]; Lonnie Robertson (1908-1981, Springfield, Missouri), learned from radio fiddler Casey Jones [Beisswenger & McCann].
