Also known as "Scotch Mary"

Paul Perkins on the 5 string and me on the fiddle. Recorded in my kitchen on a Tascam DR-05

I did my own banjo version

I learnt this tune at the weekly jam in the Golden Ball in York. This is the first recording of my J Dallas banjo (c. 1920) after I fixed it up with a new calfskin head, 5th string tuner and nylgut strings.

Frailing OJC in sawmill tuning. Based on Steve Baughman's version on his Power of Claw DVD, and instructional video for clawhammer guitar. My version is simplified from Steve's version. Recorded with Neumann KM 184mt condenser mike, using Audacity and laptop computer. Banjo is a Cedar Mt Brainjo Hobart model.

Any time I can learn another tune from the immense Samuel Bayard collection, that's a good day. This jig, recorded in 1948 by fiddler Albert Stear, is a challenge. Clawhammering in 6/8 time is another genre in itself.

a tune played by the Flemish group Rum in the 1970 's.
