Here was the process this AM when I wanted to start learning this song. As Clyde Davenport likes to say, you have to "catch" it before you can play it.
My old fiddle book said that D is the key. I found couple on YouTube with a nice slow well played version that I could listen to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2aMJKOD8Lg
I am using GDAE tuning on the Horner Violin. Now, I am just starting and the more I play it the more comfortable I will become. I might not have everything about the melody just right, so don't use this recording for your only source if you are tryng to learn this tune.
I decided to use a Noel Booth fretless 13" antebellum banjo strung with Nylgut strings for the backup.
