Additional notes
Source for notated version: - New Hampshire Fiddlers' Union [Phillips]; the 1938 typewritten manuscript of New Hampshire fiddler John Taggart (1854-1943) entitled “Recollections of a Busy Life” (New Hampshire Historical Society, Concord, N.H.). Taggart wrote in his ms. that the tunes “were all taught me during my boyhood days in Sharon (N.H.), by the various fiddlers in that vicinity” [Miller]. Miller points out that Sharon is in “the heart of the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire, where fiddlers and contra dances abound to this day” (pref. iv) [Miller].
