Back to Preacher's Favorite

PREACHER'S FAVORITE. AKA - "Ladies Fancy (4)." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Oklahoma. D Major. ADae tuning (fiddle). AABBCD. The tune is a member of the "Rye Straw" tune family. As musicologist Alan Jabbour points out (in notes to Henry Reed's "Rye Straw" at the Library of Congress [1]), the tune family is "characterized by an oscillation between keys, usually A and D, so that one is often uncertain which key is the true tonal center."
