UNCLE NED'S WALTZ. American, Waltz (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. "Uncle Ned's Waltz" was recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, in November, 1930, for Victor Records by fiddler Ben Tinnon (1891-1975) with his group, The Grinnell Giggers (comprised of Tinnon, along with mandolinist Melvin Paul and guitar player Grover Grant). Tinnon, who probably composed the tune, was living in Minilla, southeast Missouri, at the time of his recording session, although the family moved back and forth between Arkansas and Missouri. The band's name refers to a type of fish--a 'trash fish' called a bowfin or grinnel--and the manner in which they were caught--by 'gigging'-- spearing them with three pronged forks.
