This recording features me on clawhammer banjo, me on uke, and my good pal Sean McCue on bass (which apparently doesn&#39t really show up on this recording unless you use headphones or a subwoofer). I&#39m playing a Mike Ramsey-made copy of the &#34Fairbanks Family Banjo&#34, tuned something like gEADE. This recording was the kernel on which my pal Tom Berghan built a masterful version of this tune by adding in soprano banjo, bass banjo, percussion and the like. The transformation this recording goes through in his hands is remarkable, and quite beautiful. It can be heard on his music page under the name Stoney Point. Finally, I&#39ve added a tab of this version of the tune to the BHO tab archives. Also known as Stoney Point, Wild Horses, Wild Horses at Stoney Point, among a pile of other names.

I had to do a whole mess of filtering to get it to this point, and there is still a whole lot of noise I couldn&#39t get rid of, but after a lot of thought I decided it was still worth sharing, at least until we can sit down and do it again.

Best I can tell, this tune comes from Charlie Acuff. The A part&#39s similarity to Old Gray Mare is not coincidental. Anyway, this was recorded on my DR1 at the Monday night old time jam session at Sandy&#39s Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The fiddle player is Mike Roguska. Mike first turned me onto this tune at the jam session a week or two before. The guitar player&#39s name is George; I don&#39t remember his last name, but I enjoyed picking with him. This is usually fiddled in G, but Mike plays it in A, so I used my short-scale, semi-fretless Paramount, tuned aEABE, which is a G variant tuning (gDGAD) tuned up a whole step.
