For the old-time Tune of the Week, 6/23/17, Maysville is a town in northeastern Kentucky and the past scene of tobacco trade. J.P. Fraley rode in his father's wagon as a child in the 1930's and learned to fiddle this tune from his father. Oddly, the tuning I used for this recording is sawmill. I added a bit of cello banjo for accompaniment.

Thanks Yigal and Ike. Playing it in sawmill surprises me. It's still in the key of C and keeps me from doing the big finger stretch on the fourth string. I've tried it in at least two other keys and like this best. Yigal, I posted your video on the current TOTW -- very nice with David.
