Known by other titles, this arrangement comes from the legendary WV fiddler Ed Haley. I played it on a short-scale Gold Tone Plucky travel banjo, ending up in the key of F and on a short-scale Doc's Banjo in the key of C --just a fun diversion to hear the difference. To play with a fiddler you'd need it in the key of D. Listen to Stephen Rapp with Paul Kirk, Jr. -- great duet!

A dance tune Melvin Wine learned from his fiddling father, Bob Wine. Melvin played confidently, briskly and fluidly. He must have been a challenge to keep up with, but great fun for a dance!

Having heard Doc Watson's version, I was familiar with Stone's Rag. But only having Vernon Spencer's version from the Field Recorders Collections, I used that one for a clawhammer arrangement. Usually in the key of C, I tuned on the cello banjo to what is equivalent to open G tuning on a regular banjo. It was easier and more fun to do the runs in the A part.

This is a short banjo piece to be used as a sound track behind a video.

Deering Senator was used.
