"Lost Girl [3]", from western North Carolina blacksmith, farmer and fiddler William biography:Marion Reece (1874-1939), is musically different than the "Lost Girl (1)" associated with Kentucky fiddlers, and with "Lost Girl (2)", a cross-tuned reel with pizzicato notes played in Texas. Reece was recorded by John Lomax in 1936 for the Library of Congress, playing a number of fiddler tunes but also some tunes on the fife, an instrument played by previous members of his large extended family.
