Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
Frosty Morn is the old-time Tune of the Week, 8/24/18. Related to Cold Frosty Morning in some of its melody and chordal movement, here's a medley of the two. The first was learned from the guitar flat-picking of Doc Watson, who I idolize. The second was learned from Miles Krassen's Clawhammer Banjo book. He used Henry Reed's version which he had published previously in his Appalachia Fiddle book. Sawmill tuning, playing on my Doc's Banjo.

Cool! The juxtaposition helps me hear the similarities. I love what you've done with this! :)

Nice medley Janet and beautifully played. The Frosty Morn melody is what the Kruger Brothers use when they play their version of The Cuckoo, which is where I am familiar with it.
