Never heard it played all "low" like that but man I LIKE it!
Very cool.

Great...now there's one more thing I've gotta work up, as if I don't have enough on my fiddle plate!

Thanks Longbow.
Clyde Daveport played it that way for me on my last visit and just adopted that style.

It is in the key of C. This is the key listed in the Fiddlers Fakebook.

Fiddlers' Fakebook would be worth it just for that song. I love that song.

Chuck,
First I'd say after listening to your Billy...Lowground that you have a nice OT front porch kind of sound.
2nd, If you have that much insight into how to play the fiddle & learn new tunes, I can't believe you're just a novice. You gotta be a step or two up from that.
