PARKERSBURG LANDING. AKA and see “California Dance,” “California Hornpipe,” "Limber Neck Blues," “Mamie Pott's Schottische,” "Mason-Dixon Schottische," "Nightingale Clog (2)," “Rustic Dance—Scottische (3),” “Rustic Hornpipe.” Old-Time, Schottische. USA, Ky. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). A favorite tune of blind eastern Kentucky fiddler Ed Haley (1885-1951), who knew the melody by the above title, which may possibly reflect the locale in which Haley learned the tune (i.e. around Parkersburg, West Virginia). Haley lived in the Catlettsburg-Ashland area of Boyd County, KY, from at least 1920 until his death in 1951 [Brandon Kirk]. Mississippi musicians Narmour and Smith recorded the tune as "Limber Neck Blues" and a variant was recorded by Mount Vernon, Ohio, fiddler John Baltzell as “Kenion Clog.”
