Tupelo Blues

Key of C. Crooked. The number of repeats varies. 

• Floyd Ming on Slippery Hill [mp3] with the clogging feet of the Pep Steppers. 

• The "Shout Monah" CD by the Haints [clips on amazon and grooveshark].

Not to be confused with...

Floyd Ming and his Pep Steppers

Floyd's real name was Hoyt and he knew this tune's real name was Florida Blues but he was from Tupelo. He also recorded Indian War Whoop, another hollering fiddle tune. Read an interesting biography posted on allmusic and Old Weird America.
