A little more progress, it's starting to come together, I think.
I'm attempting to record and upload via my iPhone, as my computer is in the shop. I first heard Red Prairie Dawn by Don Huber's enjoyable band who was playing at an outdoor event. Next I heard it on Adam Hurt's lovely new CD "Artifacts." I worked it out in an odd tuning -- aDGBE, tuned down four steps for cello banjo. I'd like to know more about Garry Harrison who recorded the Dear Old Illinois anthology. He wrote a few tunes, like this one, and seems to have played fast and energetically. Please let me know what you think about the recording quality. Thanks for listening G.
Me on a Reiter A flat and my buddy Mitch on fiddle and singing.
From Kentucky fiddler Clyde Davenport, this is the old-time Tune of the Week for 1/6/17. Clyde's fiddling is always great and goes along well with clawhammer banjo style. I'd hate that snake, though. Reminds me of the meat bees here that only bite my husband's toe!
Got this tune from Youtube , played by Howie Bursen.
A take on a traditional song.
Played on an aluminum rim open back with goat skin head
I'm just starting out, and this is my attempt at a simplified Cluck Old Hen in G-Modal.
For the old-time Tune of the Week this New Year's Eve, from the playing of Chirps Smith, Midwest fiddler. He's a big influence and mentor for one of my favorite fiddlers, Rhys Jones. It's a cheerful, rollicking tune, though mine's on the quiet side. I plan to stay home on New Year's Eve and watch sports and pick banjo!

Rik Palieri on Mustang Pony Banjo
Written by Mark Smeltzer...one of my favorite songs of his. I love playing this song.
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 12/23/16, Anthony H. Clapp (1749 - 1816) -- said to have been an excellent fiddler and a slave belonging to the family of William Sydney Mount (famed painter of The Banjo Player) -- wrote and named this tune for the town in which he lived. Mount had it in his collections of fiddle tunes, which are kept at the Stony Brooks Museum in Long Island, NY. See this week's TOTW for more info.

I posted tunes the last two holiday seasons so I thought I'd do another this year. Wishing all the best to my BHO friends for the season and the new year. In Double C.
