Will Packett's Horn-Pipe

M-D — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:29:00 CST

Played by Oscar Sherwood Scholes (1891-1984). He was 88 years of age when this recording was made. This is Os's version of Willott's Horn-Pipe, though he called it by the title given, after a neighbour who lived up the road from him. It is played in a manner consistent with how a dance-fiddler from this area would have played it, as all tunes were.

Golden Slippers

fiddlepogo — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:18:00 CST

Golden Slippers- first in G with a bit of singing on the chorus, then in D as a fiddle tune. I often perform this for seniors. Fiddle: "Booker", mics: Heil PR35 top and PR30 below, panned hard right and left. Odd- the mp3 sounds a bit distorted in the low part, didn't in Audacity... weird! (This is the corrected export with both tracks... the left track is the lower mic and is softer, but it's there!)
