ROSCOE TRILLION. Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major (‘A’ part) & D Major (‘B’ part). A Georgia title for (AKA and see) "Flop Eared Mule (1)," "Karo." The melody was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, for Victor Records by fiddler Bill Helms of Thomastown, a village south of the city. Helms was backed on the recordings by Grady Owens (fiddle), John Hogan (banjo, guitar) and Ty Cobb Hogan (guitar). Later, “in 1931, Helms recorded for Columbia with Riley Puckett and Gid Tanner as the Home Town Boys” (Wayne W. Daniel, Pickin’ on Peachtree, 1990, p. 81).
