For the old-time Tune of the Week, 5/4/19, Lonesome Road Blues is also known as Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad. Check out the discussion thread for a very thorough coverage of this well-known song. I just sing a couple of verses here, out of many, many.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 4/26/19, you can look up lots of versions of Jesse James on BHO. It's been a popular song over the ages, though with some controversial feelings. My arrangement is based on Pete Seeger's.

Reiter A Scale, painted black on the inside Ren. head, steel strings, no knot T.P.. Recorded April 4, 2015. I was just messing around and this came out of my banjo. Posted so folks interested in Reiter's could hear what one sounds like set up like it was then. Set up with a white painted Ren. head and a Fielding T.P. now.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, Salt Spring is a modern composition by John Reischman, an excellent mandolinist I've been fortunate to hear, along with his talented Jaybirds band, many times.

This version of the old-time Tune of the Week comes from the iconic fiddler Bruce Greene, who visited Hiram Stamper in Knott County, Kentucky. It's a crooked piece and has only hints of the Clinch Mountain Backstep it's said to have influenced.

The old-time Tune of the Week for April 5, 2019 is Young Edward from Hiram Stamper. This arrangement is from his fiddling son, Charlie Stamper, (1930-2014). Clinch Mountain Backstep is definitely felt here and it's been said, but not proven, that Ralph Stanley may have learned the melody from Hiram.

An old and sweet waltz is the TOTW, 3-29-19. My arrangement is from Missouri fiddler Art Galbraith.
