Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 11/20/15, this version comes from West Virginia fiddler French Carpenter, grandson of Solomon Carpenter who played a tune he called Camp Chase when he was a prisoner-of-war at that location in Ohio during the Civil War. It's said that by playing the tune best Sol actually won his freedom. Check out the TOTW for more info.

Sounds like several other tunes... but finds it own way... interesting history as well. Nice played Janet.

This is so steady and with a great lilt. Thank you Janet! I'm just about ready to play along, just a few adjustments to make for Celtic fingerstyle, which needs more crooked tunes! Yours is my template, so it's important that they line-up melodically and rhytmically. (I'm not changing a note, just embellishing....)

A wonderful job of picking, Janet. How did I miss this when you first posted it?

Thanks, Don. It was a TOTW. So crooked a tune, but one I wouldn’t want to straighten.
