N:This spiky reel was recorded in Texas in 1929 by the Lewis Brothers, and it's been played and
N:recorded by many people since then. I learnt it from my dad, who played it on the fiddle. I
N:think, as a result, my version is a little spikier than the way most people play it, while also
N:closer to the 1929 recording, but that's pretty subjective. It always feels to me like a
N:crooked tune, and I have to count to remind myself that it's totally straight.
