I have been studying about fiddlers like Stephen Baldwin (1873-1955) who were representative of pre-Victorian fiddle styles we less legato and playing one stroke per beat. These pre-Industrial revolution styles included music for dances such as Morris dancing, cotillion, and quadrilles.
This is a first attempt to try something new. Since I adopted a classical type of now "entrapment" I find my fingers are more flexible and I have an easier time playing one bow stroke per beat.

Hey, that's my favorite song! ![]()
Nicely played. When you say "one stroke per beat," do you mean "one stroke per note." Sounds like sawstroke bowing to me, at least on the G run.
Cheers,
Tom

Mugbug,
I think Twelvefret meant to say Smokey White from Blount County, Tennessee.
Here is my take on the tune.
