Some of my favorite old time WV banjo players used resonator banjos, so I went with my old Gibson. Linda Jo is capoed three playing E minor to work with my G modal setting. We're trying to be intense.

This is one of my favorite WV fiddle tunes on the AEae tuned fiddle ... I'll have to see if there's a way to sync up my fiddle with your banjo tunings ...

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I like Linda's guitar bass effect on this tune too...

A fine job of picking, Don. Those old WV fiddlers all played this tune a little different from one another.

I'm discovering the truth of Don's statement about different ways this tune can be played. This one is nicely modal but cheerful.

This is the most frustrating song to learn....the B part is messing me up...I can't get the "crooked melody" in my head. I will keep listening to it and realize it is played differently in different region. Fiddlers revenge!! Ha! Don, yours is the first one I can actually follow and has some pattern to it. Thanks for posting.

I'm honored that you like it. My playing is rather spare compared to those who "put all the notes in". A lot of people play the more complex "Garfield's Blackberry Blossom" which has elements of Yew Piney in it. John Harford made a recording of "Blackberry" in his style of mixing in spoken word storytelling. You might enjoy that too. Thanks!
