For the old-time Tune of the Week, 10-28-16, New Yorker Ira Bernstein wrote this tune in the 80's. He is known most famously as a dancer, specializing in Appalachian flatfoot, clogging, and tap. I was quite surprised this week when I learned he wrote a fiddle tune, which is also his favorite instrument to dance to. The A part begins with a minor and the B part modulates, so it's not a common fiddle tune. It's catchy and was actually played in my neck of the woods when Earl White played at a bluegrass festival in Grass Valley, California. However, I admit I'd have learned the tune if it wasn't for this week's TOTW.

The curious part of Chorus Jig is why it's named a jig, but isn't in jig time. It's an old tune and apparently jig used to be the name of a dance. The tune modulates, giving it more interest, and to watch dancers, as linked in the TOTW discussion, they're certainly having fun.

Kentucky fiddler Jim Bowles heard the tune from an old colored fiddler who played it for dances and it's said that the tune may pre-date Civil War days. It has an unusual pattern of AABBBBB. The B part has variations, however, with three different parts as I heard it played. I'm playing this on a short scale Doc's Banjo tuned to a double C tuning. I get a happy Christmas Eve feeling from it and look forward to that day soon this year.

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.

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?
