"Richmond" is a well-known tune in the Upper South but seems to have limited distribution beyond that area. Like "Flop-Eared Mule," it modulates from the first strain to the second--in this case, from D to A. Such tunes are occasionally called "cotillions" in this general region, especially in southwestern Virginia, but Henry Reed simply called it "Richmond," the name it usually goes by.
