Hobart Smith tune. I play it on a fretless Frank Proffitt type banjo, built by that wonderful Danish craftsman Povl-Erik Larsen, who can make anything out of something. Tuning is (5th to 1st) F#ADad, only a lot deeper

Chinquapin Pie, as inspired by Hobart Smith. Recorded on the Revox in 2001. Banjo first (I guess normal open A) and fiddle next (AEAE) - and then a simple guitar (A-chords +)

Quick sketch (I can do better than this) for next Possum Whackers CD (next spring). I first laid a Clawhammer on one track of my old Revox - and added the fiddle afterwards. My banjo is an Orphum No. 3 Special (probably of 1930-vintage). Tuned in open G. My fiddle is tuned GDAD (4th to 1st)

Johnson Boys, again recorded on the old Revox (while it was still in shape). First banjo (aDADE) & then fiddle (ADAE). Goes a little too fast for my present taste, but can't change that now ;-)

Piney Ridge (W.H.Stepp) recorded on my ancient Revox 4-track machine. Instruments are: Fiddle, tuned (4rd to 1st) D D A D (4th string one octave below 3rd, also used for Bonaparte's Retreat) - and a 4 string Bouzuki bought on the Greek island of Samos a couple of years ago (well, not quite Oldtimey, but it almost sounds like a Mountain Dulcimer). Tunings may not be to 440 standard, as I'm not particular when doing sound-on-sound recordings for fun - as long as the instruments are in tune between them
