     I'm from Kentucky, I grew up hearing this  song. I remember coddleing 
eggs (looking for cracks)  and hearing this with  the wind blowin' outside and 
the old men grinnin' about the deer they shot last  night. Charlie McCoy was 
the absolute man when it came to instrumentals . Nobody  really thought about 
what was right or wrong about this song, they just got into  it. I'd like to 
think that Charlie was feelin' good and played what came in his  mind. Lay back 
and groove, that's what he did, I bet he wouldn't even attempt to  play it the 
same way twice. I won't talk about the difference between good shine  and bad 
shine but I bet it came into play.

Which kind of bears up  with the premise that no one knew of  its 
origins...so 
Charlie McCoy may have had absolutely no idea when he  recorded his   
harmonica take of it in 1969 which is still an  incredibly mind  blowing 
harmonica 
version of what was generally  considered to be  "the" country fiddle  song.
