then scroll down to Snow Deer to see if that's the tune you are looking for.

ahollan,
Thanks for the link. I've been playing that tune at fiddlers conventions and never knew the name of it.

I've been playing Snow Deer for yrs now. Learned it from my grandpa who was a fiddle player. I believe I have the sheet music around here somewhere. Will look for it.

I found it on this site when I was directed to it from the Jackson Stomp thread. It's alphabetical so you will need to scroll down to it.

Obviously a popular song (published in 1913)
that found its way into tradition. Used to be popular in
Western Swing, e.g., Spade Cooley recorded it.
I learned it about 45 years ago from a very odd EP. It had 2 tunes with
Curley Fox (Black Mt Rag, Fire on the Mountain) - complete with steel and Travis-like guitar, yet "old-time" in flavor -
and 2 tunes with the Linville Fiddlers
(anyone heard of them http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif)
this one and Silver Bell (1910), another popular song (about a Native American girl),
which makes me think of them as companion songs. Actually, both were
written by Percy Wenrich.
Hi Peter!
Silver bell is the other song I was looking for. I can't seem to find a good recording of that neither.Your are right about them being companion songs.

The first two parts are the best-known ones. Here they are both played
in the key of G - the version I learned had the first part in D.
Bob Wills recorded it, it's on the Proper label (multi-CD, but cheap).
The Sons of the Pioneers recorded a vocal version on a live album
from a radio show.
"Your voice is ringing, my Silver Bell, under your spell, I've come to tell,
about the love I am bringing, etc. etc. etc."

Neat! Very neat.
Thanks again!
