Elzic's Farewell

Music written by
Comments
Old-Time, breakdown fiddle tune. This tune has been described as "an old bagpipe tune" from the repertoire of W.Va. fiddler French Carpenter who stated his ancestor (the Elzic or Elzick of the title) played the melody as a farewell before marching off to fight in the Civil War. Elzic went missing in the conflict and never returned, but the tune survived and entered local tradition as "Elzic's Farewell." Another researcher said the above person was Harvey G. Elswick who was born in Pike County, Kentucky in 1838.
