The final installment in my Clove Lakes Park trilogy, the previous being Brooks Pond (video) and Martlings Pond (mp3). In Double C.

Here is how I play it with up picking

It seemed like this well-known fiddle tune should be in my repertoire. I've finally learned Westphalia Waltz when I came across it in a Ken Perlman clawhammer book.

The old-time Tune of the Week for 1/16/15 allowed me to look at many sources. I ended up learning from Kentucky fiddler Emmett Lundy, Virginia banjo player Wade Ward, and traditional children's nursery songs. Check out more information on the tune: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/297815

These two tunes also are the names for the tuning they use, also called Old G tuning, which I've been studying this month. I'm tuned a step down to fCFCD. I'm finding that some tunes work well in this tuning, some work okay, and others don't work well at all!

I've played this one for a few years now and it has evolved into this. Good ol tune, fune to play and I like it where it is.

This arrangement is in old G tuning, played down a step (fCFCD) from the playing of Edden Hammonds and Alan Jabbour. I'm working on tunes I can transpose to this tuning as a *homework assignment* from Adam Hurt.

Learned for the old-time Tune of the Week, the story behind this tune is that it's one Melvin Wine learned by hearing his mother sing this hymn. Now the lyrics are most gone, but the melody is still shared. Check out the current Tune of the Week: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/297062
