TIE-HACKER HOEDOWN [1], THE. American, Reel (cut time). USA, north-central Missouri. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). Howard Marshall explains that a "tie-hacker" was an itinerant worker who cut ties from the north Missouri forest for the railroads in the late 1800's, following the Civil War. They were often Irish or Scots-Irish who lived in camps in the white oak woods, and some of their music was preserved in the playing of the Wilson family of Linn County, north-central Missouri.[1]
