Inspired after a wonderful Christmas party for the less fortunate kids at my school and by the anticipation of my own family's time together this season. Dedicated to my husband, Kit, who understands it all.

Melvin Wine's father traditionally played this for the kids. Along with the simple gifts of candy and fruit, with biscuits for breakfast, the tune became a part of Melvin's cherished memories.

Fun to play with full chords, like a piano.

Bill Monroe sang this one. It's the perkiest Christmas song I've heard.

For the TOTW, 12/13/13, this is an original by Chuck Levy named for a disastrous diesel oil fire upon an actual river in Ohio. I'm playing cello banjo with Chuck's video and hope the recording quality is bearable.

From the playing of Alabama fiddler Sam McCracken, here's a kind of happy-go-lucky tune for Tune of the Week.

Written in 1857, but recorded by the Carter Family in the late 1920's. Definitely a favorite jam song for Kit and I, "Plinky and Plunky."

A hornpipe from Ohio played by an Ohioan fiddler, Estil Adams, is my source. I learned another version from a Kentuckian and will be comparing the two versions for similarity.

For comparison sake to the Estil Adams recording, here's John Salyer's version of Cincinnati Hornpipe. Adams came from Ohio, Salyer from Kentucky, but who can say where the tune was composed?

A quick take on an old favorite song. Instead of out of open G, I worked it out of open C -- gCGCE, a tuning I've only used a few times.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 1-1-16, this version comes from Marcus Martin (1881 - 1974), North Carolina fiddler, though the town he sings of is in Tennessee. He said that his father, Rowan Martin, played this tune.

The tuning some call SRB or Cumberland Gap (fDGCD) is fun to play around with, as in this tune. It gave me the feel of three-finger rolls with clawhammer.
