*Notes: All of these spellings are referenced at TheSession.org, plus this interesting bit of background: “‘Big Scioty’ is the popular name for the Scioto River that flows through Columbus, Ohio.  Ye’d be hard pressed to attend an old-time session in this neck o’ the woods where it’d not be heard!”
