58. THE SNOUTS AND EARS OF AMERICA

X: 62
T: 58. THE SNOUTS AND EARS OF AMERICA
B: Sam Bayard, "Hill Country Tunes" 1944 #58
S: Played by Mrs Sarah Armstrong, (near) Derry, PA, Nov 5, 1943.
N: The title of this fine, spirited tune may not be a corruption, but as it stands it is
N: incomprehensible.  The editor knows of no other version; but it is not impossible that
N: the air is a derivative of the familiar "Irish Washerwoman" tune, recase in 4/4 time,
N: and with the order of parts reversed.  If so, it makes a distinct improvement on the
N: original melody.
R: reel
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
Z: 2010 John Chambers <jc:trillian.mit.edu>
