    November 12, 2022

    I learned this C tune from a 1931 Okeh recording of the Mississippi old time string bad the Newton County Hillbillies, featuring Alvis Massengale on fiddle. It&#39s a practice recording from a few years ago, uploaded for the 11/11/22 Old…

  • Single Girl

    My take on Roscoe Holcomb&#39s (Rosko Halcomb&#39s) classic 2ftl version of &#34Single Girl&#34 in open D tuning (f#DF#AD)

  • Four Cent Cotton (TOTW)

    January 29, 2022

    A bit of Prohibition and Depression era history here, the poor farmer couldn&#39t make enough money raising cotton. Four Cent Cotton led to raising corn instead for whiskey. Times haven&#39t changed so much, sad to say. This arrangement…

  • Rose Conley

    Rose Conley, 2 finger thumb lead, based on Grayson & Whittier&#39s 1927 version, tuned a half step or so low out of standard &#34G&#34

    February 12, 2021

    Based on Doc Watson&#39s banjo playing, he learned this as a child from his uncle Jake Miller and said it was a courting song. It was a pleasure to look at the video, hear his banjo and vocals, and learn his solo, as well as see him…

  • Cousin Sally Brown

    January 29, 2021

    I&#39m uploading this Marcus Martin tune as my contribution to the 1/29/21 old time Tune of the Week. The fiddler is my good friend John Maguire. We recorded it exactly one year ago, today.

  • Last Chance

    January 5, 2021

    Such a compelling old time tune handed down to us from the great Hobart Smith. I prefer to play it at this slow groove tempo.

  • Porter's Reel

    December 14, 2020

    From the CD &#34The Old Texas Fiddle, Vol. II&#34, with Howard Rains and Tricia Spencer, fiddles; Brendan Doyle, banjo; Nancy Hartness, guitar; Charlie Hartness, ukulele; Virginia Musser, bass. Recorded in December, 2014 by Mike West at…

  • Buffalo Nickel

    December 6, 2020

    Upload for the Old Time TOTW for December 4, 2020. The tune is generally called Too Young to Marry, but the fiddler I learned it from called it Buffalo Nickel.

  • 28th of January (TOTW)

    November 20, 2020

    The date hasn&#39t rung any bells yet, but the minor key sure gives it a rather melancholy feel. I listened to some vintage Piney Creek Weasels to arrange this one and used a rare Am tuning rare -- aEACE.
