Biographical notes
Audley Cable (1909-1993). When Greene recorded him in 1985 at Dade City, Florida (where he had retired), Cable had no name for the tune but said he learned from one Noah Jamison. Unfortunately, no further details have surfaced and it is unknown where Jamison was from, or where Cable learned the tune. Although born in Wolfe County, east Kentucky, as a young man Cable moved to Muskogee, Michigan, where he worked in the oil fields as a tooldresser. There, he lived for a time with an older Kentucky fiddler, Darley Fulks, who also worked in the fields, and the two would play occasionally at night, although Cable would play the guitar to Fulks' fiddling. Cable himself played a right-handed violin left handed, with the coarse strings on the bottom and the fine strings on the top, notes collector and musician Greene,
