Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
The full title is Old Yeller Dog Came Trottiin' Through the Meeting House. Best I can tell, this tune comes from Charlie Acuff. The A part's similarity to Old Gray Mare is not coincidental. Anyway, this was recorded on my DR1 at the Monday night old time jam session at Sandy's Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The fiddle player is Mike Roguska. Mike first turned me onto this tune at the jam session a week or two before. The guitar player's name is George; I don't remember his last name, but I enjoyed picking with him. This is usually fiddled in G, but Mike plays it in A, so I used my short-scale, semi-fretless Paramount, tuned aEABE, which is a G variant tuning (gDGAD) tuned up a whole step.

That was a great jam tune done to the best performance scale. Recording was clean and clear and I enjoyed it mcuh. Your banjo stands out and your skills are in a small class of the greats on this site. Thanks for sharing Don.
