Notes
"Kitchen Girl" is a striking tune, but though other tunes can be found with a general resemblance, no clear variant has been found. It was recorded by the Hollow Rock String Band (Kanawha 311) in a version learned from Henry Reed, and from there the tune has found its way into the repertories of other fiddlers.
