In gCGce. I've been obsessed with this tune played on the banjo, since playing with my friend Barbara this past summer. I have played the tune on the fiddle, for years, but not on the banjo. Influenced by the recording of the Mississippi Possum Hunters https://www.slippery-hill.com/recording/last-shot-got-him
Lesson material.
Flying Indian as based on the playing of Bruce Molsky and the Shelor Family, banjo tuned to fCFCD...
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 9/15/17, Clyde Davenport, wonderfully smooth Kentucky fiddler, learned this from his father Will who learned it from their neighbor, elder fiddler Will Phipps (b. 1829). It has a modal sound, so I arranged it in sawmill tuning.
CH take on Irish Reel composed by Michael Gorman. AB AB. Wildwood. D tuning
Key of C, open C tuning, gCGCE
Banjo tuned aDADE
From the playing of the great Texan fiddler Bob Wills and for the old-time Tune of the Week, 9/8/17, it's a treat to have this tune with our old-time repertoire. Mac Benford plays it on banjo and that's good enough for me! The band leader I worked with for 14 years played steel-pedal at one time and his love for Bob Wills showed. He had us learning some of his instrumentals over the years, so here's one I can show him. :)
Played on a fretless Tradesman with super nylgut strings.
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 9-1-17, from the mandolin playing of Alabaman Sam Taylor. I played this a bit differently than usual, avoiding extra notes and bass notes that seemed to slap, and also used more slides than I usually do. Johnny was laid-back, I guess, probably due to overworking in the excessive heat.
After Chance McCoy and the Appalachian String Band. Birdie tuning, capo 3.
Played on a minstrel banjo made from a Remo 10" hand drum. Fishing line strings.
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 8/25/17, this comes from the fiddling of Kentuckian Pat Kingerly, born in 1912. Funny, but somebody posted it on youtube as "Sow's Got Mud Between Her Toes." That title makes sense!
CH take of Grub Springs in A tuning. Long.
Double C tuning on new walnut 12" open back
