I know of several Pretty Little tunes and heard or played them at Clifftop.  Just wondering if y'all know of others. Here's my list:

Pretty Litte Gal, Pretty Little Dog (both on my homepage here), Pretty Little Shoe(s), & Prettly Little Widow

I wonder if there are enough for a Pretty Little album.  :-)

Well, my husband and I play one called "Pretty Little Something." (laugh) It's the way his banjo teacher introduced it when he made the lesson recording "Pretty Little Something--Girl, Widow, Dog" and calling it that delights us, no end. (I'm pretty sure it's actually Pretty Little Gal.)

Supposedly some West Va fiddler, possibly Lee Triplett, heard the tune Pretty Little Shoes when he was out somewhere...cane home and tried to remember it to learn to play it but got it kinda confused and knew it wasn't quite right and so he made two tunes, Pretty Little Dog and Pretty Little Cat, from what he'd ms-remembered. Then over the years any fidders did the same as those three pretty little tunes and here several decades later we got the Pretty Little Mess of Pretty Little Tunes we're all Pretty Much Confused about...that's what I heard about all that, anyway!

Pretty Little Girl (Camp Creek Boys) caught my eye on my iTunes list this afternoon.
