Some fiddle tunes go by different names in different places. One I play on clawhammer is Western Country, which is sometimes called Susananna Gal or Fly Around my Pretty Little Miss. Here’s another tune that goes by different names. In this first video, these guys call it Hop Light Ladies. I like the fiddle with the gourd banjo on this one, sparse and clean. Lovely.
I first heard this as Hop High Ladies, and it is also known as Miss MacCloud’s Reel or Mrs. MacCloud’s Reel. More recently I’ve heard it has another name as well – Did you ever see the devil Uncle Joe…. Here are Blaine Sprouse (fiddle) and Evo Bluestein (autoharp). I’m not usually a huge fan of the autoharp but this is really superb.
