Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
The old-time Tune of the Week is from Kentucky -- one of those very old tunes that many in the region played and it's stayed alive and still being passed around. I found it to be very pretty, especially when slowed down some. If you read the thread for the TOTW you find links to a local woman named Lella Todd who played the tune and was also well-known for her kindness to the neighborhood kids. She hunted, fished, fiddled, played guitar and banjo, and was remembered in an interview posted on the thread by a one of the neighborhood children, then already in her 80's. My kind of lady! Check it out: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/298998 I listened to another regional fiddler, Billy Stamper, to get my clawhammer arrangement.

Thanks, Preacher Billy. It's Sunday. Hope we'll both be playing and singing some gospel songs today. :)

Nicely played Janet. The B part reminds me a little of Bill Cheatham, I think.
