Jim Booker/Doc Roberts tune. I learned it from John Harrod and John Masters. Kelly Gilbert uses a high part in Em that I sometimes throw in for a 3rd strain. This version is just 2 strains. Shippingport was an island in the Ohio River at Louisville and was a French enclave until the mid 19th century. GDAE

That's a nice version on Shippingport. I learned one from the Double Decker String Band, and James Bryan's version. Enjoyed your fiddling. Barb
