    Default Washington County sheet music?

    If it's not copywrighted, does anyone know where I could find the sheet music for either Washington County Breakdown, or just Washington County? I think it's a Kenny Baker tune, but I might be wrong about that? I would be grateful for any help. I did Google it, but without any luck.

    It's notated in the Kenny Baker fiddle book by Oak, I think.

    The original is the Washington & Lee Swing, an older tune, which KB acknowledged and bluegrassed-up. The original is by M. W. Sheafe and Thornton W. Allen. Copyright 1920, with lyrics! (who knows these?) and I believe has been renewed. I found the sheet music on-line (for a fee) from several sources.

    It's in the excellent Fiddler's Fakebook as Washington County, KB arrangement, complete with those double stops that really make it.
