DIXON COUNTY BLUES [2]. American, Country Blues (cut time). Collector Bob Christeson recorded champion Burt County, east Nebraska, fiddler Bob Walters playing the tune in 1950, but remarked it was the only time he heard the tune in his collecting experience. There is a Dixon County in east Nebraska, just west of Sioux City, a few counties north of Walters' Burt County.
