Tommy JacksonSNOWSHOES [1]. American, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Showshoes" was popularized by Nashville, Tennessee, session fiddler Wikipedia:Tommy_Jackson_(musician) (1926-1979), who recorded it in 1962. Jackson played with many of the greatest country-and-western Nashville stars for forty years or more and was one of the most sought after session musicians of his era. "Spotted Pony (1)" is a similar melody, although the 'genetic' relationship between the two is unclear at this time.
