I learned this from the New Lost City Ramblers who got it from a Victor recording by Grayson and Whitter. Henry Whitter hung around the New York recording studios until he got someone to record him. His recording of "Handsome Molly" was too rough to be released until Fiddlin' John Carson's recordings became successful. Whitter's recordings inspired many fiddlers who felt that if Whitter could make a record, so could they.
