Can anyone help with the origins of Crook Brothers Breakdown?
Dave Proctor taught this tune at last weekend's Gainsborough Festival,
and we are curious to know where and when it comes from. With the low
part going to B minor it has a somewhat modern sound to our ears, but
the name suggests something rather older. The only recorded source we
know of is from Trevor and Travis Stuart.

The tune was called 'Sally Ann' when the Crook Brothers played it in the 1960s, which also included the minor low part. One or possibly more radio recordings exist. Konnarock Critters recorded it on a cassette (that was not reissued on CD)
