Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 1/20/17, this is a favorite Texas waltz my husband, Kit, and I have enjoyed. Don Borchelt does a great job covering its history if you check it out, and has lots of examples, including two superb videos of his own.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 1/13/17, this version comes from Missouri fiddler Cyril Stinnett. I liked it because the B part reminds of me Flop-Eared Mule.

A multitrack version of the tune with me playing fiddle, clawhammer banjo, bass, and guitar under the "virtual band" name of Big Sugar Creek. John Ashby's rendition is my favorite version of the tune, and this is but a very beginner / elementary version that I play. Sorry that my fiddle skills just don't permit me to play it any faster, and I wish I could have made the banjo a little more prominent.
