Parler Played by Mr. Raymond Martin and Mr. Dean Ramsey Prairie Grove, Arkansas November 13, 1960 Reel 372 Item 6 "Bonaparte's Retreat" (A Fiddle Tune)60 Jim: Whoa, Napolean. Ray: "That Good Old Mountain Dew." Dan: Some of that good old mountain dew would help you here. Ray: I can’t think of nothing now. Dan: What's this one, Connie? Connie (Raymond Martin’s married daughter)" "Boil Them Cabbage Down." Dan: "Boil them cabbage down." Goldie: “Boil Them Cabbage Down," Better wait till he thinks of it. Ray: I can't think of it now. I’ve got it rigged in with another time, Connie: How does it go, mama? Ray: You know it, don’t you, Dean? Dean: I’ve seconded it a lot, Ray: I’ve got it mixed in with another tune, and I can’t separate it. How about "Won't You Ride In My Little Red Wagon"? I was trying to think of a shoddist. An old colonial shoddist. Goldle: He’s going to tell his age now. Thom: What’s the name of this one now? Is that the one you were talking about? The shoddist? Ray: It's a shoddist, I don’t remember the name of it, Mrs, J. I. Hall (Dan’s mother): It’s "The Scottish Hornpipe," isn’t it? Ray: Huh? Mrs. J. I. Hall: It’s the "Scottish Hornpipe," isn’t it? Ray: No, I don’t believe that's the one. Let’s see. Thom: Just go ahead and play it on through. Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation.
