For the old-time Tune of the Week, 8-8-14. I learned this from Adam Hurt who learned it from Jarred Nutter, who learned it from Bobby Taylor, who learned it from Clark Kessinger. Adam calls this the "folk process in action." It's the only 3-part Durang's Hornpipe I've heard and Adam plays it with lots more intricate variations.

Thanks, Lew and Don. I'll be playing this for Adam on Skype in Sept. Why can't I just play him this MP3? ;)

Very, very nice Janet. I used to play with Bobby back in my West Virginia days. Probably my favorite fiddler from back then - great to hear this tune again.

Janet, Sorry! That word "lovey" was supposed to be "lovely" I sometimes type dyslectically!

I'm glad this version is being spread around--it has deep roots. How amazing that Laurence played with one who learned from none other than Clark Kessinger. No wonder your roots run so musically deep, too, Laurence.

Lew--teachers only admit their mistakes after retirement, right?
