CLAYHOLE, THE. American, Waltz (3/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "The Clayhole" was collected by Utah concertina player Hal Cannon, who learned it from Larkin Gifford of Springdale, Utah, who said he had learned the melody and title from his father. Cannon taught the tune to Ron Kane and Skip Gorman, who remark "Apparently, the Clayhole was an old camping spot near the Arizona-Utah border where lumerers, freighters and cowboys would rendezvous"[1].
