Polly Put the Kettle On (Marcus Martin)(fBbFBbD)

1M ago

—

For the current Tune of the Week, I thought I'd give yet another tuning a try, and this one seems to be able to hit the notes without jumping around octaves and doing finger gymnastics (it's at least doable, anyway, not necessarily easy).द्वारा JanetB

Polly Put the Kettle On (Marcus Martin)

1M ago

—

Polly Put the Kettle On isn't usually in a modal key, but this week's Tune of the Week appears to be in Gm. If I knew more, I could confirm the scale is G aeolian. To play it the most easily I used cello banjo and brought the notes down four steps, so that's even more complex. I suppose this is all a good cognitive exercise to keep my brain a bit s…

Spootiskerry

1M ago

—

A fairly modern (1980) Shetland Islands tune for TOTW. The composer lived at a ranch with this name and it turns out that a few players actually do know it. Our presenter, Andy Taylor, often gives us an exotic tune, but always a delightful one.द्वारा Ian Burns

Garfield's Blackberry Blossom (Ed Haley)

2M ago

—

A tune of the week to challenge us! Blackberry Blossom is certainly a favorite. Garfield's Blackberry Blossom is related, but another challenge. After having had a lesson on Ed Haley's version from Adam Hurt several years ago, here's my attempt to arrange one myself.द्वारा JanetB

Chords are added to an older recording in the first time through for John Riley the Shepherd,द्वारा JanetB

Eadle Alley

2M ago

—

From the fiddling of West Virginia Melvin Wine, Eadle Alley remains a mystery as far as a real place. Playing his tunes is always an experience with a squared off, traditional fiddle tune that make good square and contra dance music.द्वारा JanetB

Hornpipe with an Irish origin.द्वारा jef

Price Bane Waltz (TOTW)

3M ago

—

As played by West Virginia fiddler, Israel Welch, related to Noah Cline, who gives a fine history of the tune Price Bane Waltz on the Tune of the Week for 8/29/24. It's a pretty little waltz and was easier to play than I anticipated.द्वारा JanetB

Named after my third-great uncle, as learned from Uncle Tom Thrush via Tom and Israel Welch.द्वारा Noah Cline

Head of the Creek (Ward Jarvis) (TOTW)

3M ago

—

Here's a tune from West Virginia with interesting timing. It has a bridge and also ends a half measure early if you repeat it, so you jump right into the water, rather the A part.द्वारा JanetB

Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss

Key of D and played on a newly constructed open back 5 stringद्वारा hudie

Old Bob (TOTW)

3M ago

—

From the playing of Bruce Greene via Kentucky fiddler Gusty Wallace. The measure count is very unusual, but it's a neat tune. Bruce Greene has found good crooked tunes, many probably from Kentucky. Check out his Five Miles from Ellum Wood CD.द्वारा JanetB

Lost Girl (Walter McNew and John Salyer versions)

3M ago

—

Tune of the Week explores Lost Girl. I've focussed on the Kentucky fiddler John Salyer version, but didn't include the Walter McNew version in the thread yet. In this mp3 you first hear McNew's version, then Salyer's as learned from Adam Hurt's piano playing.द्वारा JanetB

Ducks on the millpond

3M ago

Played according to the tab in John Burke's Book of Old Time Fiddle Tunes for Banjo.On YouTube the fiddlers play it on a much faster pace than I do.द्वारा Kyle Creed

The Cat Rambles to the Child's Saucepan

4M ago

—

An Irish "traditional slide", meaning it's kind of like a jig, but it's not. I'm always learning something on the Tune of the Week. :)द्वारा JanetB

Little Sadie

Quick recording with my Zoom H2n handy recorder. I'm at home with a bad flu, so I'm a little congested. Recorded with my Gold Tone WL-250 in Sawmill tuning (gDGCD).द्वारा stanley_

Be Kind To A Man When He's Down

4M ago

—

This arrangement was very heavily inspired by Simon Robinson's version of this song. Recorded with my Zoom H2n field mic at my workplace courtyard (so I had to be relatively quiet) next to a fountain. Tuned down from G-Standard (relative) on my Recording King RKO-3S customized with nylon strings, fiberskyn head, and stuffed with two cotton shirts.…

Chris Coole made this one as an exercise on "rolls".द्वारा Chris Coole

Sallie Cooper (TOTW)

4M ago

—

As played by Kentucky fiddler John Salyer, it's good to have yet another one of his unique tunes. The A part is rather plain, but the B part has character. If Sallie Cooper was that kind of person, I think I would have liked her.द्वारा JanetB

Shady Grove

4M ago

—

The lyrics are based on Doc Watson's recording. Recorded on my Gold Tone AC-12a tuned a whole step up from Sawmill (aEADE). Recorded in one take with one microphone. This arrangement is not based heavily on any existing tab.द्वारा stanley_

Saturday, October 21,2023Last Sunday, as I was preparing to sing with the youth at Gwynedd Friends Meeting, I asked the teacher what the lesson was for today. He told me that they were going to learn about Indigenous People's Day. I looked through the list of songs that I'd been singing with them, for the past 30 years or so and thought, that of al…

Murillo's Lesson (TOTW)

4M ago

Described as a fife and drum march during the Revolutionary War and given other similar titles, Murillo's Lesson has evolved over the years. This clawhammer arrangement uses the musical annotation posted on the Traditional Tue Archive.द्वारा JanetB

Lynchburg Town

This is Lynchburg Town, loosely based on an arrangement in Wayne Erbsen's "Clawhammer Ignoramus" book. Recorded with a Gold Tone AC-12a tuned to aDADE.द्वारा stanley_

Soapsuds Over the Fence (TOTW)

5M ago

—

From the fiddling of Alabama fiddler James Bryan in 1983, he learned from Mack Blalock, a Georgia fiddler, and the tune is older yet. I tuned to an open C tuning, something only done occasionally, so it changed the fingering from the better-known ways.द्वारा JanetB

Tamsin's Waltz

A tune I wrote and decided should be named after my wife, as a reward for putting up with my banjo playing!द्वारा gentrixuk

Arranged from the O'Neill's Music of Ireland source. My son is a farrier and does blacksmithing ALL the time. Sometimes he's merry!द्वारा JanetB

Lucy Farr's Barn Dance (TOTW)

6M ago

Lucy Farr (1911-2003) was Irish, but lived in England. She played the tune in the key of D, but here in jam sessions it's being played in the key of G. Lucy recorded an album at the age of 80!द्वारा JanetB

Grey-Haired Dancin' Gal

6M ago

—

Thanks to Brendan Doyle for uploading the source recording for this week's Tune of the Week, Grey-Haired Dancin' Gal. I gave the tune another try. This version has a more Cajun swing flavor than the one I learned from, and Brendan shared with us the composer's background, so I thought it was worth another try. It's played slowly here and wants to b…

Grey Haired Dancing Girl (TOTW)

6M ago

—

Learned from the fiddling of Mark Tamsula, a fiddler I respect a lot. Grey Haired Dancing Girl, however, is not one Mark learned from the collections of Pennsylvania's Samuel Bayard. The original source of the tune is still a mystery, but a 1990's jam in Maryland was Mark's source.द्वारा JanetB

Bibb County Hoedown (TOTW)

6M ago

—

The source recording is from a 1930 recording of Seven Foot Dilly and His Dill Pickles. I learned from a modern recording of the Old Yeller Dog Band because I liked how the fiddle filled in the held notes.द्वारा JanetB

Red Fox

Here's a Henry Reed version of Red Fox, recorded in the enormous collection of this West Virginia fiddler by the great Alan Jabbour. I went to gCGCE tuning for ease of playing down the neck.द्वारा JanetB

This version of Portsmouth Airs is based on Buddy Thomas' fiddling. He'd visit Jimmy Wheeler, leaving Kentucky to go to the neighboring town of Portsmouth in Ohio.द्वारा Jimmy Wheeler

Whistling Rufus (TOTW)

7M ago

—

A Tune of the Week written in the late 1800's, considered a ragtime or tin pan alley tune. It's a tough one to play, especially having just learned it today, but it was also an unusual tune to figure out.द्वारा Kerry Mills

Scully's Reel/Sail Away

7M ago

—

What I worked out in gEADE tuning for playing clawhammer with piano at a contra dance. (it's for a dancing, so it's fairly long)From a couple of years ago, first dance from long break of Covid. Was a bit rough.द्वारा banjoak
