Old Time Fiddle Tunes

Old Time Fiddle Tunes
There's some great stuff out there this site has sheet music, midis and recordings of Old time, bluegrass, celtic tunes. They'e all been transcribed by John Lamancusa.

I found it while looking for the chords or tab for Margaret's Waltz played in the Dobro Dojo video from you tube I posted recently.

Dear NBB
Like the new banjo direction-Keep on Pluckin'-
It's been a little while since the last video("The Union Messenger") Christmas has come and gone ,the new year is well and truly here and I swear the snow is melting!
Here is the new video for "the Blackest Crow "-
the 19th century song of parting done in a father and daughter style by PeeBee and Red Milly with lead guitar by Billy Ray.
"The Family that plays folk together stays together folks!"
Hope y'all enjoy.

Calling all Fiddlers

Hey Andrew,

I'm not sure how I picked up on your blog. I too am a regular In the Dock attendee but the main purpose of this contact is something other. Recently I have teamed up playing guitar with a gentlemen banjo/mando player from the hill country near Stokesley and we're on the look out for another player to join our efforts, something like a fiddler, concertina or even whistle.
This sort of thing is new to us both, my friend has a history of playing for dancers, morris etc. whereas I've done mainly bass playing for blues and country bands. We're both of a certain age and are doing british and american folk tunes but not too sure for what purpose.
If you are acquainted with any players who may fit the bill above please refer them on to me. Someone has mentioned a players' night starting up in January at Bagby Airfield, maybe we'll go an long and see if we can find anyone interested.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for dropping me a line. Fiddlers seem to be in short supply round here, wouldn't mind finding one myself! If anyone is interested contact Stan - stan.robinson@live.com

Good luck, maybe have a beer at the next In the Dock?

Andy

Jeff Davis
Old-time songs and music from North America with fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin

Jeff Davis is one of those musicians who makes everything look easy. He plays superb old-time fiddle, is a master of clawhammer banjo and just as good on guitar, mandolin or mandocello, without ever striving too hard for showy licks or empty virtuosity. His singing, based on long immersion in the styles of the old singers is truly timeless, conjuring vividly the world of the cowboy or the Civil War soldier.
Jeff Davis - Shortnin Bread


Jeff has an unusual and refreshing repertoire that includes songs and music from New England and the American West, as well as the more common Southern mountain material. His performances range from Appalachian ballads to Long Island fiddle tunes, songs of the civil war to African-American-style banjo-picking.
