Hey everybody -
This tune popped in my head the other day and no one had done it yet so here you go. Arkansas Pullet. I think most people play this in A but I'm playing it in G.
I originally picked it up in a jam as a three-part tune without the extra little crooked bit in the first part (something like this: youtube.com/watch?v=vfRmJTjqUkE).
But I'm pretty into throwing the extra little hiccup in there, like in the probable source recording by the Reaves White County Ramblers (archive.org/details/ReavesWhit...ullet.mp3).
Anyway, here's a combination of the two. I'm off to clifftop so no tab this time, sorry! Maybe when I get back. Have a great week!

Nice tune! I'll give it a go. Thanks for choosing it!

Adam, you play with so much excitement, I can imagine the fun you're having at Clifftop right now.
The A part was tricky at first with its funny timing at the 7th measure, but it works just fine with its 10 measures. I've never heard of that 1920's string band, so thanks for the Arkansas connection. I thought I heard the third part on one of the source recordings, but couldn't find it again the next day, so I listened to one of your links.
Looking forward to hearing about your Clifftop adventures!

As always, I really love your take on these tunes and the dedication to make this happen every week. It's a bit of a challenge to find a tune that hasn't been covered here, and honestly, I hadn't listened to this particular stringband in more detail before this, but they're so good! Definitely more future TOTW fodder in these recordings! The newer/festival/jam third part of this tune is still a bit of a mystery. It's a fun addition and I definitely don't hate it, but if anyone has any more insight into where it came from I'd be genuinely curious!
