I'm attempting to transcribe a tune that I first heard at an old-time workshop a while back. I'm somewhat new to transcription, however, and while I've cribbed from the Traditional Tune Archive for much of the transcription, the ending sounds a fair bit different from what's written there. I've included both a slow play recording from the workshop and my own attempt at the transcription, but I'd appreciate some feedback.
This tune sounds so cool, it has this fiddley melancholic joy and something very swinging ( the part that reminds me a bit of Old Joe Clark)
I really love your slow playing. it sounds very exact and very precise regarding the rhythm, hat off to that.
Can we give it a try? I would have to learn to play the tune before I could say anything of value on the transcription.
Would be a nice tune for me as a next tune..
Edit: listened again, this tune has exactly the drama I'm so fond of :-D

The credit for the playing goes to Scott Prouty, not to me. :) It's also been pointed out to me that in measures 3 and 5, the open Es should be open As (and Nile Wilson's original recording has these as left-hand pizz as well), but otherwise, please do give it a go! I think it's usually played in AEAE, but I learned it on a fiddle that was squirrely when it came to tuning and I was able to play it alright in GDAE.
