Original fiddle tune I made up back in 2007, I think. Rough recording. Played on an old no-corner-block German factory fiddle. FCFC tuning. We've done this one at the dances some, normally in AEAE tuning.

It's not much, but it's fun to bow. Interested to find out if it's too similar to something out there already. Critique is welcome.

I like it, David. It did remind me of a tune that goes real high on the B part.

This is hot. Kind of reminds me of Lonesome John.

OK, now I have a bone to pick with you. You know what a mind worm is? One of those melodies that, once it gets into your head you just can't get it out? So I listened to your tune. I enjoyed it. Immensely!
I even figured maybe I'd want to learn it. See if it sounds the same in FCFC as in AEAE. It kind of has a bluesy feel to it I really like.
Well, then it was dinner time in the ol' Bsed house. So as we dined, I became concious of this tune going through my head....and it kept going&going&going&...Mind you, it was a GOOD mindworm. It was even a beneficial mindworm in case I ever did want to try to play your tune.
But alas, now its gone, & I'll have to relisten to it again.
And I want to listen to it again!

Just call me Dwight.

Is there anybody here that thinks the A-part kinda sounds a little like Glory In the Meetinghouse? That thought just struck me as I listened to it a 2nd time.

Just call me Dwight.

Great fiddlin' and a great tune. Like bsed, kind of reminds me of Glory in the Meeting House, but also, of an original tune that James Leiva used to do years ago called "Up On Camp." I love that in your face fiery stuff.....

Yeah it sounds like it has some bits of different tunes in it, especially Glory in the meeting house and Lonesome John. But it is not those tunes, it is it's own tune " Storms in May ". What sort of storm was it in May ? Nice sounding tune you got there. I have a couple I made up in that tuning I will upload.
