“Cherokee Fiddle” was written and first recorded by Michael Martin Murphey and rose to #52 on the country charts and in 1980 Johnny Lee’s version was included on the Urban Cowboy soundtrack album. A later re-recording by Lee cracked the country top 10. The story is based on a fiddle player named “Scooter”; his real name was Dean Kirk. He was of Choctaw Indian and Irish descent and he worked as a professional musician and in his later years played at the train station in Silverton, Colorado (Wikipedia). Obviously, it could use some fiddling in the breaks, but since I didn’t have that I tried a little hammer-on/drone trick to try to at least evoke the feel of a country fiddle.
