I believe it's rather 'Eb' than 'Fdor' but it's probably the same.

It's credited to a Terry Rasmussen but I do not know who that is. I learned it from Grey Larsen circa 1982, he'd just picked it up in Europe. He was touring a lot then, and a lot of people in the US got it from him around that same time.
