A fiddle tune often played by fiddler James Bryan. This multitrack recording is a "skeleton" version of the tune [just can't hit all the fiddle 8th notes anymore] and features melody banjo and fiddle in the first round and throughout, guitar starting with latter part of round one, and bass and lightly played clawhammer rhythm starting in the second round. Earbuds improve audibility of all the parts.

I've owned my Antonio Giuliani Primo from Kennedy Violin for 2 1/2 months. My first fiddle. I put Fiddlerman strings on it (Perlon core). I've been able to pick out some tunes that I know on the banjo that I took up 7 years ago and this is one of them. I'm using the Giuliani wood bow (72 ounces) that came with the outfit.

A multitrack recording of my slow and simple version of this Lynn Morris tune, where I'm playing clawhammer banjo (Enoch 12" Tradesman with Rickard Dobson tone ring, Double D), fiddle (low G tuned up to A), guitar, and bass. This version is more Old Time. Mostly banjo in this one, though fiddle is audible in the third round. As always, the bass will sound better with better headphones / earbuds / speakers. Dedicated to an old high school friend (T. O'G.) of mine, who was among my first...
