"Wild Hog in the Woods", also known as "Bangum" or "Old Bangum" is an old time breakdown<br> known in southwestern Va. and Kentucky in A Dorian (Phillips), D Dorian (Fuzzy Mtn.<br> String Band played in AEae or GDgd (Taylor Kimble) tunings (fiddle). It has one part.<br> Alan Jabbour says (regarding some instrumental versions) that the tune is "almost<br> certainly" an instrumental adaptation of the tune used in the Appalachians for the<br> ballad "Bangum and the Boar" (Child #18), also known as "Old Bangum".<br> Most modern ‘revival’ versions, however, seem to be based on the playing of Taylor<br> Kimble (1892-1979), of Laurel Fork, Virginia. Guthrie Meade (1980) points out the<br> tune's high part is the same as the tune "The Fiddler's Drunk and the Fun's All Over".<br> The rhythm is irregular - more suited to a listening piece than a dance.<br> It was printed in Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995).<br> It was recorded by The Kimble Family on Blue Ridge Barn Dance (1974),<br> Dan Gellert & Shoofly on Forked Deer (1986),<br> The Fuzzy Mountain String Band (1972),<br> The Hoover Uprights on Known by their Reputation (2005),<br> Cathy Fink on Banjo Haiku; 26 Clawhammer Banjo Tunes (1992) and others.<br>
