Learned from Adam Hurt's Earth Tones CD. This tune kept going through my head on July 8th as I wondered how close the Smartsville grass fire would come. It ended up burning 73 acres. This version appears to originally come from North Carolina fiddler Marcus Martin.
Dock Boggs version. Banjo is tuned gDGBD, maybe a little low. One of my favorites.
Shove the Pig's Foot
A great tune composed by Garry Harrison. I've played along with a several times over the past few years, but last night I played along with Lylek also on banjo. It just got to me, so here is a quick version. I'm approximately in standard A tuning, and playing my aluminum banjo.
A tune sent to me by a friend, recorded at a festival. Fiddler is Bill Galloway, from Arkansas.
Heard BHO member frfriddle play this. Hope I did it some justice. Pardon the dog bark!!
For the Tune of the Week, July 19, 2013. Owen Snake Chapman learned this from his father. The title refers to an angry hunter after his dog ate the prepared meat.
Two versions alternate. The first one comes from Tommy Jarrell's Round Peak style, as taught to me by Adam Hurt. The second is my clawhammered rendition of the classic Scrugg's style first lesson taught in 3-finger style. The bluesy notes of Tommy Jarrell's compares with the major tones of the Scrugg's style, though both have slides.
