As played by Tennessee fiddler John Sharp, I wouldn't have know I have Lake Erie on a CD by Bruce Molsky and Bob Carlin hiding under "John Sharp Medley." I'm one who appreciates detailed liner notes, but they weren't here. So thanks to Tune of the Week and Mark Gentry this week!

Art Rosenbaum included Sweet Nora Lee in an album and a book subsequently tabbed. He played it in Seeger's up-picking style, but I arranged it for clawhammer here. It's a sweet song with some lyrics, too.

Here's a "barn burner" as played by WV fiddler Clark Kessinger, but more like a rocking chair when I play it. It sure has a range, so I turned to the cello banjo and tuned it just three steps lower than standard to play an A tune out of an equivalent to double C tuning.
