I first heard this lovely tune a few weeks ago in a jam session and it showed up twice in other sessions. Hence, it was time I learned this tune. I set up a backing track and played with it until I was happy with my arrangement.

19th century tune in the key of G. Played on a newly constructed African Black Limba and Walnut 11" on an open back

Key of G. Clawhammer style. Played on a newly constructed Myrtle wood and Walnut 11" open back

This is 2-finger picking learned via the playing by BHO member RG. He presented lots of research on the song you can read if you go to the TOTW discussion thread. He also recorded Pretty Boy Floyd's many verses.

I composed this tune back in 1991.

A clawhammer rendition of Dock Boggs' "Schottische Time". I think that Schottische Time certainly has its origins in the parlor music repertoire rather than strictly oldtime or mountain music. C standard tuning (gCGBD)

Woody's classic anti-hero ballad "Pretty Boy Floyd" gDGBD

One of Towne's best tunes!
