Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 12-8-17, a 1924 fiddle recording of Dr. D.D. Hollis produced 12 recordings. I find Whistlebee an odd name and it has odd timing, too. The tune has been recorded with little resemblance to the source fiddler and it's hard to say why. It's fun to play and has a busyness to it that might resemble a bee.

Agree it is a bit odd, but what I find unusual is that, unless I'm not listening closely enough, it seems there is only an A part that just keeps repeating.

Very true, Rick. The two parts are similar. The modern recording by the group Flying Jenny is very different from the source. They probably improved it! Thanks for listening.
