Hi PaulD, Clayton McMichen was my cousin a few generations back. My Dad knew him but I never got to meet him. My Dad has an old family fiddle that we suspect was his but can't prove it. I don't think the song was ever called anything other than McMichen's Reel that I know of.
I have a recording of it on a CD called "The Worlds Greatest Bluegrass Pickers" from CMH Records, Inc. out of Los Angeles, CA. On this CD it's played by Fiddlin' Red Herron. It also has 29 other good tunes on it.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
See ya,
Russell McMichen
