First draft of this TOTW. I'm kind of wandering during the B part--can't actually hum it consistently yet.

I learned this from the fiddling of Michael Springer over on EZfolk (banjopogo on the hangout).

This is a medley from our band (The Burr Oak String Band), recorded in Ann's living room.

I learned this from the Billy Mathews' collection. In his fiddle version there is a wonderful rocking sound in the B part

I learned this from the "home recordings" by Chirps Smith, who got it from Dwight Lamb. This title shows up in a list of tunes played by John Armstrong when he was visited by Edger Lee Masters and Theodore Drieser in Oakford, Illinois, 1914. My version is pretty skeletal compared to what the fiddle is doing.

I'm revisiting this song. It sure is fun to play and sing. I'm not making any effort for proper 1840s styling on it.

An Illinois tune that I've learned from a combination of Clifford Harrison, Sean Barth, and Cathy Moore. I'm in D on the Gold Tone WL-250.

Last Christmas I asked for and received a book of Wisconsin house party tunes titled Mandolin Uff-Da, Let's Dance, by Bruce Dix. I'm really enjoying it, although this is the only tune that I've attempted so far. As you can hear, I generally don't play it on the banjo.
