Also called Calico Corn. Another one that has long been on my list to try and play by my self. In D (more or less) on my aluminum banjo.

This is my memory of the song as done by the Deseret String Band. I think there is another verse.

The B part is very much like the B part of Booth Shot Lincoln, but a little different. This is in G, "B shot L" is in A.

Yet another CS, in A on the Bicentennial. This one is a little bit of a Cherokee Stumble in one spot.

I pretty much learned this by listening to County 2734, "Down to the Cider Mill" with Tommy Jarrell, Oscar Jenkins and Fred Cockerham. The fiddlers companion files this under "Paddy won't you drink some cider", and it has three parts there. Maybe Jarrell & co also do three parts, but I can't tell the difference between the 2nd and 3rd and it just sounds like a double-repeated B. to me. There are some other "Cider Mill" tunes/variations that I'd like to learn.

A couple of months ago I was in a fiddle workshop given by Billy Mathews in Urbana, Il. This D-tune was the second of 5 tunes that he taught, if I remember correctly. It works out great on banjo, as well as being easy on fiddle. I still cannot be sure of making it through a tune three times on the fiddle without braking down, so I recorded the banjo version first and theyn played along. I didn't like my first fiddle track, so I did a second, and then decided that I liked hearing both fiddle tracks so I left them in. It sort of cancels out the errors.

I first heard this tune from a BHO posting by Chris Ptasnik, and then bought the CD by the Airtight String Band of Charleston, IL, which has it. I was taken by the tune, did not learn it then, just stuck it in the "list of good tunes I should learn". Then I recently got the re-issue CDs of the Delta Creek Boys, and worked it out on mandolin while I was waiting around in the car before playing for one of those cemetery walk events. Being on mandolin, I didn't know what key I was in, so I was surprised when I later asked my fiddler friend and he said it was in G. Anyway, this tune is named for a fiddler from Benton, Illinois. I was here at work waiting until a computer meeting began, so I decided to try it on my old aluminum banjo. I'm probably in G, more or less.
