I'm on fiddle, with Pete Anick on guitar, recorded 19 years ago. Pretty close to Eck Robertson's version from 1922 (two parts in Bb and one in Gm), but it's a tough one to play well! Some fiddlers regularize the tune by omitting measure 4 of the 9-measure C part. Done Gone has been credited to Matt Brown, a Texas Panhandle fiddler stranded outside Amarillo and ignored by a car that zoomed by him.

A very quick demo of Georgia Shuffle bowing, with downbow on the offbeat and upbow everywhere else. u u D u u u D u is one measure of up and down bows. Here I play saw stroke, Nashville Shuffle, and Georgia Shuffle - first on a scale (a good way to practice!) and then on a simple version of Sally Goodin. This pattern and others are explained in my book Oldtime Fiddling Across America. Enjoy!

Written by Pete Anick and Dave Reiner, this was recorded by Dave, Andy Reiner, and Eric Eid-Reiner on Eric's first CD, "Grand Tour: Traditional Music on Piano." We wrote this on electric mandolin with the reverb turned up, so little ghost notes bounced around the room, leading to the name "Ghost." The twin fiddle parts are transcribed in my book, Anthology of Fiddle Styles.

Cross-tuned DDAD, learned from the playing of Texas fiddler Benny Thomasson. My friend Pete Anick is backing me up on guitar. Pete's a columnist for Fiddler magazine, BTW. The gentle bobbing of the melody and the long, haunting strokes conjure up the peaceful image of darkness descending over the water.

A very short version that I learned from the playing of Dudley Vance. I'm on fiddle and Pete Anick's on guitar; we recorded this for our book Oldtime Fiddling Across America. Doug Dorschug (DougD) has a fine version of the tune on his music page, with him on banjo and Red Vance (Dudley's son) on fiddle. I always figured the A part starts the fox chase, the B part is the pack yelping, and the C part is the sad ending of the cornered fox.

I learned this from the smooth playing of John Ashby of Northern Virginia. My friend Orrin Star is on banjo, with Pete Anick on guitar. This is not the Texas tune with the same name.

I especially like the bow rocking in the B part. Recorded live at Buell's Orchard in Eastford, CT, 10-13-08. I'm on fiddle, Paul Harty is on guitar, and my son Eric Eid Reiner is on piano.

I met Gustav Erdmann in Wisconsin in 1976, when he was 94 years old, and learned this tune from him. It resembles one of the Nebraska tunes in Christeson's book. John Chambers is on accordion.

I learned this crooked tune from J. P. Fraley's playing on his LP of the same name, where he played it very deliberately. I'm on fiddle, with my friend Pete Anick on guitar.
