“Title of this tune's ‘The Last Chance’, something all of us will have before we die I guess, a last chance,” is how Hobart Smith introduced this at a 1963 concert in New York City. Fiddle: GDAE, Banjo: gEGDE. Casey had to eek a fiddle tune out of the banjo playing. A kissing cousin to ‘Rambling Hobo’ and Dock Boggs' ‘Davenport’.

Liberty. Clawhammer banjo. gCGCD tuned down to who knows where. Learned this from John Burke's book, Art Rosenbaum's recording and my father's playing. Played on an S.S. Stewart strung with nylgut. What a pretty tune.

Fiddle: AEAE, Banjo: aEADE (fretless). The first real tune my father taught me. He called it ‘Clinch Mountain Backstep’, and got it from the Stanley Brothers for all I know, but he clawhammered it. This is more John Salyer's version.

From my album Sings Songs for the Masses.

Gut strung fretless banjo made by my father. Some form of three finger picking. Tear-jerker. From my album Sings Songs for the Masses.

Casey Abair on fiddle. Casey learned this from George Stoneman’s banjo recording, changed the key and passed it on to me. Fiddle: GDAE, Banjo: aDADE (fretless).
From our new album, "If You Want to Go to Sleep, Go to Bed".

From my album If You Want to Go to Sleep, Go to Bed with Casey Joe Abair on fiddle. Fiddle: AEAE, Banjo: aEADE. A combination of the great versions of the tune by John Snipes, Dink Roberts and Rufus Kasey on the album Black Banjo Songsters. Similar to Hobart Smith's.

The Devil's Dream as Hobart Smith called it, appropriately enough. It's a doozy. ‘John Brown's Dream’, ‘Little Rabbit’, ‘Herve Brown's Dream’ and ‘Pretty Little Miss’ are other names it goes by. Fiddle: AEAE, Banjo: aEAC#E (we're both tuned low, all the tunings I give here are relative).

Nylon-strung S.S. Stewart. Written by Rev. J.K. Alwood. My wife Fereale singing harmony. Recorded for the soundtrack of the documentary The Ostrich Testimonies. A nod is due to Mr. Hobart Smith.
