X:1 T:Stuart's Long Bow N:from the playing of Arville "Sandy" Sandusky (Casey N:County, Ky.), recorded by Bruce Greene, Nov., 1989 M:C| L:1/8 R:Reel N:The measure of 3/2 in the first part of the 2nd strain is as N:played by Mr. Sandusky, however, the 2nd time through the second strain N:he played the measure in regular time. Since he only played the tune N:once all the way through on the recording, there's nothing else to compare.
