Hi,
I'm trying to get copies of the music for the following two old-time
Southern tunes: 'Watermelon Hanging on the Vine' and 'How Old are You
My Pretty Little Miss'. I've checked in all the usual places -
Fiddler's Companion, JC's ABC Tune Finder, The Library of Congress
collection and the Lester Levy collection - with no luck. The Fiddler's
Companion mentions 'Watermelon...' and some of it's history, but with
no music (in ABC notation) along with it. Both of these, by the way,
are on the CD 'Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, Vol. 1). The liner
notes say that 'How old are you...' is a Kentucky courting song. Can
anyone send me copies of the music or point me in the right direction
to find the music (online and free) for these in either the notes or
ABC notation? I realize that most of you are not into this kind of
music, but some of you may be. In any case, I don't know of any other
forum to try.
Thanks for any help.
