I love this tune. I learned it from a Bruce Molsky CD. My band, Jubilee Mule, perfomed this at the Cantab in Cambridge a few months ago. Me on banjo, John Price on guitar and Tim Baldanzi on Mandolin.

Tim on banjo, JP on mando and the excellent young fiddler Andy Reiner. We were sitting amongst a bunch of plants at Mahoneys Garden Center in 2005. We played for 3 straight hours without doing the same tune twice.
