FLOWERS OF MICHIGAN. AKA and see "Jim Moore's Fancy." American, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. An identical, note for note, copy of the tune was entered into the music manuscript copybook of musician M.E. Eames, frontispiece dated Aug. 22nd, 1859 (p. 51). Unfortunately, nothing is known of the fiddler, although he entered several of the tunes from Saunders' popular violin tutor in his manuscript.
