As played by North Carolina fiddler Marion Reece (1874 - 1941). I can hear the scolding in the A part very clearly!

Key of G. Tuning is gEADE. TOTW for 23 October 2015.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 10/23/15, Indian Corn comes from the Dear Old Illinois collection by Garry Harrison. I find it to be a cheerful harvest tune which I first heard played by a favorite fiddler, Rhys Jones.

Performed by Dave Marshall (banjo), Andy Imms (guitar), Keith Chilvers (mandolin)

Learned this version from Adam Hurt. "Sandy River Belle" tuning (gEADE). First recording on my new Enoch Dobson.

Learned from Art Galbraith and Lonnie Robertson, two great Missouri fiddlers and included in R.P. Christeson's book The Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory, Vol. 2, #132. The tune has a long history as a popular song of the late 1800's and is still played today. I prefer the music to the lyrics!

played by Jack Beuthin.

Strung my Gold Tone Bob Carlin model with some silverwound nylon strings, tuned in the baritone range, cFCFG, like double C seven frets down from standard.

For a ToTW post. Dan Levenson on fiddle, Jerry Weinert on bass, me on guitar. No banjo.

From the fiddling of Kentuckian John Salyer, this is a three part tune with a modal feel, kind of like a mini-concerto. I'm playing on a Gold Tone cello banjo just recently strung with minstrel nylgut strings and tuned an octave below open A tuning.
