Its easy to let the days slip by if you let them. So, here we go... I play this in D with the fiddle cross-tuned ADae. I learned this from a a lot of different recordings. But I guess the one that had the most influence was from a CD by Lydia, Emily, and Claude Martin called “Ten Thousand Miles”. I like the they way she plays the A part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc8STrfr69o Slippery-Hill: https://www.slippery-hill.com/recording/step-around-johnny Fiddler's Companion: http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/STE.htm STEP AROUND JOHNNY. Old-Time, Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Silberberg (Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern), 2002; p. 150. I didn't find anything at DLA. FWIW - According to one source (Dean Barber) who posted a video on YouTube with Tricia Spencer playing the tune: “...comes from Blount County, Ala., about 40 miles north of Birmingham, where I lived for nearly 25 years.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs8hVdVlweI Again, thanks to Josh Turknett for letting me use his banjo “tune of the week” videos as a background for my fiddle. His video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVxw67bxunc
