Episodes

  1. Where Have All The Flowers Gone

    My abbreviated version of Seeger&#39s classic anti-war anthem with a I/vi/IV/V bridge added for color.

  2. Big Mon

    This arrangement of Big Mon mixes melodic, Scruggs, and single-string approaches.

  3. Little Princess Footsteps

    I learned this C tune from a 1931 Okeh recording of the Mississippi old time string bad the Newton County Hillbillies, featuring Alvis Massengale on fiddle. It&#39s a practice recording from a few years ago, uploaded for the 11/11/22 Old Time TOTW. I am three finger picking my 1928 Vega Tubaphone...

  4. Rosebud Of Allenvale

    TOTW 03/11/23: Waltz written by James Scott Skinner, also known as &#34The Rose Of Sharon Waltz&#34 and &#34Rosebud Of Avonmore&#34

  5. Harvest Moon

    Original Cello Banjo 3-finger picking Tuning: A C# A B E

  6. Porter's Reel

    From the CD &#34The Old Texas Fiddle, Vol. II&#34, with Howard Rains and Tricia Spencer, fiddles; Brendan Doyle, banjo; Nancy Hartness, guitar; Charlie Hartness, ukulele; Virginia Musser, bass. Recorded in December, 2014 by Mike West at the 9th Ward Pickin&#39 Parlor, Lawrence, KS.

  7. 28th of January (TOTW)

    The date hasn&#39t rung any bells yet, but the minor key sure gives it a rather melancholy feel. I listened to some vintage Piney Creek Weasels to arrange this one and used a rare Am tuning rare -- aEACE.

  8. A Rose for Polly (TOTW)

    Rose for Polly is a pretty, 3-part song in a minor key. Perhaps it makes for a good love story -- a hopeful suitor gives her a rose, she responds sweetly, but with a bit of reservation, though continuing to offer hope.

  9. Blue Smoke ( a Merle Travis early fusion tune)

    my arrangement and adaptation of a Merle Travis guitar instrumental to banjo...it&#39s in Dm and shifts to Dmaj for the bridge...

  10. Eastern Interloper

    Tunaday #106 - In G Modal-f (fDGCD).

  11. Pancho and Lefty

    my attempt at a Townes Van Zandt classic...it&#39s in the key of G...backing musicians compliments of Band In A Box...

  12. I Still Miss Someone

    this Johnny Cash song has been covered by a lot of folks including Flatt & Scruggs..I used to do it a lot at dance gigs because it makes a pretty good 2-step dance song...

  13. Wheel Hoss

    This recording was made in the early 90&#39s for a project that never came to fruition. Bill LaWarre - Mandolin, Buddy Griffin - Fiddle,Ed Cunningham - Guitar, Joe Brashear - Bass, Wayne Clyburn - Banjo

  14. Frosty Morn/Cold Frosty Morning medley (TOTW)

    Frosty Morn is the old-time Tune of the Week, 8/24/18. Related to Cold Frosty Morning in some of its melody and chordal movement, here&#39s a medley of the two. The first was learned from the guitar flat-picking of Doc Watson, who I idolize. The second was learned from Miles Krassen&#39s…

  15. Sail Away Ladies

    This is the Luther Davis version of Sail Away Ladies, or at least my interpretation of it. Presented for Tune Of The Week for August 2nd, 2018. In any case a fine tune!

  16. Mad as a Hornet

    For the old-time Tune of the Week, 4/13/18, Snake wrote this tune during a recording session and it was was recorded and kept for posterity with this title that was reminiscent of his experience as a child of being knocked down by an angry hornet.

  17. Susannah Gal (TOTW)

    For the old-time Tune of the Week, March 23, 2018. Susannah Gal goes by other titles. This one comes from the duet CD of Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham, both from the Round Peak, NC region. Their B part is unique, but they play it together and so it sounds great. Fred adds slides which I...

  18. Sandy River Belle with Ed Britt

    Made this banjo duet recording with Ed Britt back in November, 2014. We still play it when we go busking in Harvard Square.

  19. O'Neill's March

    Clawhammer take on Trad march. Double D tuning. Wildwood.

  20. The Mountain Road

    CH take on Irish Reel composed by Michael Gorman. AB AB. Wildwood. D tuning

  21. My Long Journey Home (TOTW)

    This old-time Tune of the Week for 8/11/17 reminds us in melody of some other traditional songs, such as Gotta Travel On and even Worried Man Blues. The Monroe Brothers recorded this as their first ever recording in 1936 and Bill said that it was commonly sung in Kentucky at the time.

  22. Jackson's Hornpipe

    I posted another Tommy Jackson tune unknowingly the other day...&#34Snowflake Reel&#34. JanetB was kind enough to give me some background on the tune and add a very nice clawhammer arrangement. This led to us trading messages about a collaberation of another Jackson tune. It was a bit different…

    Grateful Dead classic built on a descending G scale

  24. The Smoking Redhead Blues

  25. Hey Joe

    imagining Earl and Jimi at some blues dive in Clarksdale

  26. Green Willis (TOTW)

    For the old-time Tune of the Week, Green Willis is named for a fiddler from Willis, Virginia. It&#39s also called The Raw Recruit. When it&#39s played in slow jig time, it&#39s called Chapel Hill March. Go back far enough to Scotland and it was called Da New Rigged Ship. Lots to think about here…
