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

Popularized by Virginia fiddler Albert Hash, this is a four part tune whose last part reminds me of Fishers Hornpipe. I learned it in conjuction with the current old-time Tune of the Week, another tune played by Mr. Hash called Nancy Blevins. He lived in an area of Virginia I visited now called "The Crooked Road," known for its "rich musical landscape."

Thanks for posting this, Janet. I've played along with this at jams, but have never learned the tune This is a great version that I will have to add to my list.
