Summary: This is NOT the Mississippi Sawyer that you know in D. No, this is a totally different tune. I first played it about 10 years ago at Breakin' Up Winter at Cedars of Lebanon State Park. And then I forgot about it, that is until last night, when I found myself playing it on my front porch. I didn't know the name of it, but Gilbert Sewell, a fiddle player in Pikeville, Tenn., set me straight when I sent out a "mystery tune" email to friends last night. So here is Mississippi Sawyer, cross tuned in A for you fiddle players out there.
