Annotation:Eddy Sticker's Tune
Tune properties and standard notation
EDDY STICKER'S TUNE. American, Jig. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). Learned by the source from Eddy Sticker, from Indiana County, Pa., whose father (who lived in Milton, Pa.) was a Civil War veteran and also a fiddler and local teacher of tunes. Bayard notes that Sticker was mentally impaired due to a fever when he was young, but retained the ability to play the fiddle and had preserved a store of tunes. The 'A' part is equivalent to the first tune in Section No. IV of "The Lancers" in Linscott (Folk Songs of New England, 1939), p. 93.
