WINDER SLIDE. AKA – “End of the Lane.” American, Reel (cut time). A modern ‘old-time’ tune composed around 1980 by Joe LaRose (Kent, Ohio), in the style of Gus and Theodore Clark, who recorded 2 sides in North Georgia about 1930 --"Barrow County Stomp" and "Wimbush Rag." Two versions are played, one from Joe’s original recording, covered by Bruce Molsky. A second version was developed by LaRose, who added an irregular second strain to his tune. This latter two-part version was recorded by Rayna Gellert, who learned it from Bill Dillof. Kerry Blech writes: "Bruce first heard it on a tape sent to him by a friend. Joe's original recording of it was double tracked guitar and fiddle, with 78rpm surface noise overlaid. The first version he sent around was jokingly titled as by Gus and Theo. Clark. I forwarded it, as is, to many friends, and that is what Bruce apparently received in the mail. WS also was left alongside the other two real 78rpm cuts of the the Clarks, and was at the end of the taped interview with Bert Layne. Bruce later told me that what he found out from me was called "Winder Slide" was untitled on that tape and that he started calling it 'The End of the Layne'."
