Been a while since I've posted anything, so here's one I learned from the local fiddler. He learned it from the late Jeff Goehring (Red Mule String Band) of Ohio who collected it from a fiddler and banjo player originally from Braxton County,West Virginia by the name of Ward Jarvis. Mr.Jarvis (b.1894) apparently moved to OH in the mid to late 40's where he lived until his passing.

The tune also appears on Ray Alden's "Tribute to The Appalachian String Band Music Festival, Clifftop, West Virginia"

Sean - I've got a nice version of that tune that I made up from a couple of recordings - I'll post it when I get a chance. It reminds me of Little Dutch Girl, but I actully like Pretty Little Shoes better. I've got to get my fiddler to learn it, so far I've only been playing it solo!

There's some good playing going on this weekend. There will be a concert at Andy's and then some playing later.

HOpe you make it!!!!

Good to here from you Robert. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to make it down that way this weekend, but we'll be having our own get together up here with plenty of great tunes as well!

I look forward to hearing that tune, and tell everybody down there I said hello!

Grease.
