History
Brothers Dempson and Denmon Lewis recorded this for Victor in El Paso on July 11, 1929. It became their best known tune. They were from San Antonio and grew up in Crow Flat, New Mexico, where the family moved in 1902.
Both brothers fiddled for dances, including ones they ran at Liberty Hall in El Paso. Oklahoma fiddler Earl Collins learned it from their 78 in 1966 and changed the A part.
