I wrote this song some years back after a visit to the Fiddler's Gathering. It attempts to portray some of the history of the place. There's a monument in the park that gives some of the salient details of the fighting that happened there.

We play this tune in jams around here, but before this year I didn't know that Norman Edmonds had played it. Fiddle is tuned AEAE.

I recorded myself on my Eyepod. You'll have to excuse the drive noises. Otherwise I think the recording is fairly clear. This is an original tune from Banjo Billy.

This is from a jam we had at my house during our Halloween party. The playing on the part of the fiddler (me) ain't so good as I'd like, but I'm really just learning this tune. But we sure had fun playing it. Can you bare listening to a single tune for 11 minutes? Turn the volume on your computer up a bit because I didn't have the sensitivity on my recorder set properly.

I learned this one from Suzi Thompson. I don't know where she got it, but if anyone knows...I play it slow at the end if anyone wants to learn it.

Lost Boy/Girl are both in G.

Similar to Lost Boy, although it's a regular tune. John Salyer is the source, GDAE tuning.

I think Steve Earl recorded this song (Don't know if he wrote it). We've been performing it for well over a year, and it has become one of my favorites. This cut was recorded in Glenview IL on 2/7/10 (yes, it was Super Sunday and we still managed to fill the room somehow) by my band Loose Change & Friends. Ron & Marcy Novit (banjo & guitar/vocal, res.), Bill Tong (autoharp), Lee Mishkin (bass), Doris Lee Dutton (clog dancer), John Daugherty (mandolin) and myself (fiddle).

This is a tune that Missouri fiddler Bob Holt played. It is played S-L-O-W (by request). When you learn it good at this speed, you'll eventually want to play it 8-10x faster to match Bob's playing.

I was goofing off w/ my banjo & trying to recall a popular tune (don't want to name it yet) & I came up with this. Does this sound like any tune you know? Key of D.

I think the instrumentation on here is fiddle, guitar, & mando, all played by me. This is one of my favorite all-purpose 'C' tunes. Hope you like!

As requested. I use standard tuning, and I might be a little sharp because of a fine tuner issue I'm having. Anyhow, I play it sort of at regular speed, then slowed down.
