Notes: A simplified version of Eight More Miles to Louisville. I like playing this in A, so either capo 2 from G or tune up like Grandpa Jones to A. However, I don't know if Grandpa Jones ever played this on a Banjo, all the versions I have are on a guitar. Dave Hum plays a mean version (Scruggs Style) in A. Both Youtube versions are linked on the 1st page with lyrics. I've added a page 2 for the Chorus and a midi link (Dave Hum version in A) in case the Youtube links disappear. This is for the melody and back-up, there are other versions in Scruggs style available under the tabs menu. (I've put "to Louisville" in (paranthesis) because I live in Russellville, Arkansas and like to substitute "to Russellville" in my version when I play. Substitute your own 3 syllable town in your version, if you desire. Lou-is-ville, Russ-ell-ville, New-Or-leans, etc. Remember, Louisville is pronounced Louie-ville.

Notes: This is a tune that I give to beginners for practice on the square (thumb in and out) roll. I learned it from Grampa Jones, but have also heard it done by Jim Kweskin. Google the words.

Notes: This is my take on Ben Eldridge's arrangement of this old favourite on one of Mike Auldridge's dobro albums. I think Ben's arrangement breathes new life into this old song, and the use of dropped 'C' tuning introduces some nice sounds. I'm still feeling my way with Tabledit, so the timing is a little shaky in places, but I hope you'll get the idea.
