LONESOME WIDOW. American, Hornpipe (cut time). A Major. Standard or AEae tuning (fiddle). ABBCC. "Lonesome Widow" is an American hornpipe played by fiddler Dickson Augustus "Dick" Weems ("Wims") of Perry County, western Tennessee, a member of the Weems String Band who recorded two excellent sides for Columbia Records in December, 1927. "Lonesome Widow" was not commercially recorded, however, and is from an undated home recording of Weems. Weems made a few appearances on the early Grand Ole Opry, on 4/30 and 10/29, 1929, playing with banjo player Alvin Condor, both members of the Weems String Band [1].
