Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
This is a tune played around the SF Bay Area for some time. One of the early sources is Freeny's Barn Dance Band, and here's a YouTube link to their version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MooStDmRDFU&feature=related What's interesting is that while I've always heard and played this in D, I've heard that it's "really" a C tune - and in listening to the Freeny's version is sure sounds like it! I've tried this on the fiddle in C and it definitely works nicely but sounds quite different. There's some sheet music available here: http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/tunes.htm

A cheerful version. I liked the part of the story in the TOTW link where the supposedly very scary, formidable Sullivan family anonomously helped some travelers overnight. When leaving they said how grateful they'd run into this kind family and NOT the Sullivans.

Wow, that's some great picking, Stefan, very fine performance. A lot of subtle, neat little variations.
