The only time I have ever heard Acorn Hill Breakdown is on the Jr. and Cody Marriott CD. I thought it was a fun tune, but I had no idea where it came from until I asked Cody, who said it was an old Missouri tune.
I dug a little deeper, and it looks like Tommy Jackson wrote it.
Enjoy!
Acorn Hill Breakdown according to Fiddler’s Companion

Not quite, but I did try to not repeat shirts too often, something I don’t normally think about. 🙂
Lovely musical performance !
Tommy Jackson really wrote some great tunes.
