Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
A different tune than "Polly Put the Kettle On." Great crooked tune, since although it is typically written out in 4/4, it contains an extra 2/4 measure in the middle of Part B. Recorded myself in four tracks: Clawhammer Banjo, Bass (probably will need headphones to hear), Rhythm Guitar, Fiddle. This is a tune I first heard played at a Fiddle Festival jam near Watkins Glen NY about ten years ago by Old Time and Field Recorder icon and banjo player Peter Hoover.

A very nice performance, Dan, well done. An interesting tune, according to the Fiddler's Companion, it is also sometimes called Polly Put the Kettle On, even though it isn't, and comes from Byard Ray, the fiddle player who sometimes worked with Obray Ramsey.
