Hi all,

I'm looking for tab or sheet music or other learning resources for the Sugarloaf Mountain Special fiddle tune by the Johnson Mountain Boys. Does anyone have any resources?
Thanks!

Hi again,

I'm guessing that the first page of the PDF shows the bowings? Some sort of shuffle? Any advice here (except to drink lots of coffee prior to practicing)?

Thanks again, this is awesome! I didn't expect to get any hits on this.
