For the old-time Tune of the Week, 1/9/15, this tune was written after Joe Blalock was laid off from his job at the textile mill in Trion. I heard it on Bob Carlin's Banging and Sawing CD. This introduced me to the fiddling of James Bryan of Alabama, who has since become my favorite fiddler. Check out the TOTW thread on Farewell Trion.

Wonderful picking, Janet. You get the most incomparable tone out of your banjo, just amazing.

This is an all-time favorite tune by my favorite fiddler! Don's tabs are spectacular, as well as advanced with their usual up-the-neck fingering. I went up-the-neck, too, this time with my clawhammering.
