Ron-thanks so much for the comments...really love playing the fiddle & wished I hadn't started so late in life, but truth be told I was always intimidated by it...and after a full year of playing it, boy was I right!! But I don't give up easy, so thank you again for the encouragement...

Christine-that sure is a cool CD, I've figured out 4 tunes off of it so far and trying to decide what to work on next, always play "Alonzo Janes" and "Coming Through the Canebrake (to Shoot the Buffalo)" at jams, Mel sure had some great tunes. Thanks for the nice comments on the fiddling, sure appreciate it...

The next Mel tune up for me is "Jingle at the Window Tideo". Mel is so cute when he plays on his CD. See if you can get this one. I am having a little trouble distinguishing A,B,C parts though. I think it goes AA BB AA CC. Let me know if you post a version I do not always find people's posts so you gotta send me a note.
Enjoy!

I been trying to learn the fiddle now for a couple of years, and I admire you for posting so soon in your developement . You certainly have the foundation for becoming proficient. I'm not familiar with Mr. Durham. It looks like I have some homework to do.
