Bill Monroe and His Bluegrass Boys recorded this fiddle tune in 1964 under the title "Salt Creek", changing the name in honor of the creek in Indiana near where Monroe held his annual Bean Blossom Festival. Monroe's banjoist, Bill Keith, apparently got the tune originally from West Virginia banjoist Don Stover, and Don got it from who knows.
If you are a guitar, banjo or mandolin player and you don't know the melody yet, for shame!
