Wednesday Tune Fix – Pete McMahan’s Happy Jack

The old fiddle tune Happy Jack I learned the tune from Pete McMahan. To my thinking it is one of the best square dance tunes ever. This is a real Mid-Missouri tune, Pete having learned it from Clark Atterbury from Montgomery County.

Pete’s mentor Clark Atterbury, from Americus in Montgomery County

  1. Do you know Pete’s tune, Grandma or Grandmother’s Waltz? I suggested the name for it at a fiddle contest near St Joe about 36 years ago.
