Tune Information

Author: Sanford Faulkner

Origin: USA - Midwest

This tune was either composed or collected and popularized in the 19th century by Colonel Sanford C. 'Sandy' Faulkner. He claimed that after becoming lost in rural Arkansas and asking directions at a rustic log home, he received a surly welcome until he was able to provide the second part of the fiddle tune, possibly Arkansas Traveler, being played by the home's occupant. It was the state song of Arkansas from 1949 to 1963 and has been the state historical song since 1987.

Tune Information

Author: Stephan Deibel

Origin: USA - Cambridge NY

This tune was written by Cambridge NY fiddler Stephan Deibel, around 2010 on a wilderness island in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. "While I was writing the tune, a boating party in a beautiful old wooden boat happened by. Suddenly, their outboard motor stopped and they were unable to restart it. There was a moment of tension as they drifted towards some sharp rocks, but they were saved just in time by another passing boater, and towed safely home. The first part of this tune seems to imitate the attempts to restart the motor, and the second part their joy at being saved, although this was not by conscious design."
