Hey everybody!
This kind of snuck up on me again but I managed to think of a seasonally-appropriate tune to share with you all.
I got this from my friend Joe Burdock and it's a slightly different version of Turkey in the Pea Patch from the common one that I think most people know from Buddy Thomas.
This one comes from the playing of Jimmy Wheeler, a fiddler from Portsmouth, Ohio. Here's a recording of him playing it: https://fieldrecorder.bandcamp.com/track/turkey-in-the-pea-patch
I don't know a ton about the tune, specifically, but you can read a bit more about Wheeler here: https://fieldrecorder.org/first-recording-session-with-jimmy-wheeler/
Anyway, it's in D, nothing fancy other than some fun alternate string pull-off practice if you want to get more of the melody.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks, Adam!

Thanks for this tune and the good tab. Good playing and am enjoying learning tjs tune.
Great job in the video, Adam! Being a fan of Buddy Thomas, I arranged tabs to compare Buddy with Jimmy Wheeler (they knew each other and at times played together). A few of the measures are the same or very similar, but there are definitely some differences in their melody. Still, they go together very well. I think I may have mixed up the A and B parts, as the coarse part comes first and the fine part last in their recordings, but perhaps the arrangements will help someone anyway. :)
