Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 2/12/16, this was recorded on Thanksgiving Day, 1951, by Nebraska fiddler Bob Walters. I learned it listening to Dwight Lamb, who was befriended and mentored by Mr. Walters after hearing him on the radio in the 1940's and driving from Iowa to seek him out. This is tune #80 in R.P. Christeson's Old-Time Fiddle Repertory, Vol. 1 collection.

Thanks, gentlemen. I must admit I'm a bit backwoodsy and have never tried oyster. If it goes with corn on the cob it must be good.
