PigAnkle recorder 2003. I learned this from Bob Whatley of Waco, Tx who learned it from his father James Whatley. James Whatley was a highly respected fiddler, maker and repairman who lived in Austin. The A part of the tune is not regular - there's an extra beat.

PigAnkle - recorded 1991 - Kirk Hunter- fiddle, David Allen - Banjo, RIchard Chance - Guitar. Learned Pickin' Chickens from a recording of Allen St., as well as from my good friend, Bob Atchison. I learned this unusual version of Grey Eagle from an old timer in Mtn.View during the spring Folk Festival. It is somewhat similar to the transcrition in the Christeson's "Old Time Fiddler's Repertoire." I can't believe 1991 was THAT long ago!!

Rochester Schottische with an unusual third part in G. (Part1:D/ Part 2:A/Part 3: G)Also, listen for the "bow shivers." His son, Bob, playing guitar. Recorded in the 40's on aluminum disk. This version is very similar to a 78 recording I have of the Herny Ford Orchestra. James Whatley was originally from S. Carolina or Georgia before moving to Central Texas.
