Trying to find TF tab for version(s) played by Nora Brown and Clifton Hicks. Thanks for any help.

I joined his Patreon site for $2/month and receive videos (some of which are members only) and access to his tab library. If I remember correctly, he recently said he had around 100 tabs available.

bart_brush says: 8/10/2021 12:41:04 AM After I posted above, I remembered that Clinton sent a list of all available tabs a few weeks ago. I looked up Coke Oven March and it's there, in "D" or "Reuben" tuning, listed as a Dock Boggs' song. I'd forgotten it, but recognized it when I listened to it on YouTube. It's on Mike Seeger's first recording of Dock for Folkways, which was also one of three records in our local library that introduced me to old time music in 1963 when I was in 8th grade. (The other two records were Harry and Jeanie West, and the Old Reliable String Band.) In 1970, I spent about an hour with Dock at his home, near which was a long row of coke ovens. Maybe they were the inspiration for the song. I also looked up Nora Brown, since I had not heard of her. She's on YouTube playing Coal Oven March in 2019, AND--everyone--you gotta listen to her YouTube version of "Trouble in Mind" by Roscoe Holcomb, because before that song is an great excerpt of her playing "Let me Fall" on banjo-uke at age 6 with her first teacher, the late Shiomo Pestcoe. Wait, there's more! If you love videos of kids playing string band music, google "Jam Pak Band YouTube" for a heart-warming and inspiring three minutes!
