Samuel Bayard collected this tune from fiddler and fifer Isaac Newton Morris. It's tune #45 in his book Dance to the Fiddle and March to the Fife. I learned it from the excellent recording by Mark Tamsula and Richard Withers in their CD Up in the Batten House. It's one of these tunes where the melody is embedded within some wandering passages. I'm playing in SRB tuning with tab in the BHO archive.

I like the tune, what's SRB tuning.

Sandy River Belle tuning, also known as Cumberland Gap tuning. It's fDGCD, though I'm tuned lower on the cello banjo. I have tab if you'd like to look.

thanks for that. I haven't used tab for many years, but it would be interesting to have a look.
