Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
The old-time Tune of the Week for 9/9/16 is Green Corn, also heard commonly as Hot Corn, Cold Corn. Lena Hughes, an elderly and beloved 2-finger style picker from Missouri recorded this and I've taken the opportunity to try something for the first time with the 2-finger style. She uses thumb-lead and I also tried index-lead the third time through while "playing the melody."

Thanks! You're an inspiration for 2-finger picking, Ken. I'm so 3-finger oriented the switch would tax me...

Thought your picking sounded different Janet. It sounded fine.
