Hi Duncarius, I’m sure Casey will consider adding this tune when he has a chance to get back to Lessons and he may chime in on your request as well. This is a great Contest Tune widely played at The National and State Onetime Fiddle Contests. It is also a tune that is interpreted in a variety of ways by top notch players, including Mr. Gimble himself who really set himself apart from other players with his ability to play a lot of double stops. Thanks for the suggestion and keep up your fiddling. Roland
Hey there. Great suggestion. I used to have a version worked up out of the key of A. But almost all of the Texas style players I hear play it in G like this version.
I will definitely add it to the list, but I must tell you that it will be later this year before I get a chance to cut the lesson. When I teach it, I might cover both versions…my version in A, and then a more Texas-style version out of G…We’ll just see what happens. Thanks!
That sounds fun, Jeff. I hear that’s quite the Texas-Style contest event. I won’t have a lesson ready for this April, but hopefully next. I would definitely want to play it out of G at that venue. Let us know how it goes, sir!
