Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
For the old-time Tune of the Week, this is a three part tune from Ohio which reminds me a bit of Devil's Dream. I play it clawhammer style melodically and can see it eventually becoming more rhythmic and less notey. But here it is for now, from the original recording on Slippery Hill by Ohio fiddler John Hutchison who learned it from his father who learned it from another fiddler.

Beautiful. The B part sounds like “Devil’s Dream “.

Thanks, Greg. It’s much different at this slower speed. I hear Devil’s Dream there, too—a tune with melodic history in bluegrass, I know.
