I'm playing the Nate Calkins fretless tackhead #12 that arrived for review yesterday. It is a great Walnut necked grain measure pot banjo and has a wonderful sound and feel. Look for the review in July's Old Time Way. It'll be a good un! This old Stephen Foster tune has had its parts reversed over the years but I play it as was originally set with verse before chorus.

Here is me playing it "up to speed" - interpretive or off the cuff so to speak as you might jam it.

It has been about 2 months since I learned the tune and my band has been playing it. Here is a recording of how it has developed from this week's jam session at the house. 5 fiddlers, one guitar and one bass. No banjo as George is north for the summer avoiding the Tucson heat!

Here is the first time I got the tune. It is Andy Porter at the beginning and the rest of us coming in as we "get" it. Annie Trimble on guitar, me and Emmy T on fiddles.

I recorded this today (11/8/08) on my imac with Vega Deering Tub-a-phone using audacity (the program [;)] for this week's Tune of the Week. As you listen through, you will find that there are actually 2 versions combined in one. The more common one is first, but in the second, which I got from playing it with Bruce Molsky (historical reference on the way, it's not new to Bruce) you will notice the transition to a 4 chord halfway through the first measure and also at the START of the B part. Though it took me a while to reconcile it in my head, I find it a pretty cool variation. You are free or course, to play as you will. Just remember, if you want to play nice with others, you'll have to find common ground.

I recorded this today (11/8/08) on my imac with Hardesty fiddle # 85 using audacity (the program [;)] for this week's Tune of the Week. I start basic then add my variations. Choose how basic or fancy you want, but listen to the fiddle part to get a better idea of what you might play on the banjo to pair, counter or otherwise back up the fiddler.

Here is a recording of Henry playing it on fiddle from the old field recordings of him. They were done by Alan Jabour and passed around by us back in the day. There were 3 90 minute cassettes and a LOT of tunes!
