I learned Old Yeller Dog Come Trottin' Through the Meeting House from Charlie Acuff, an 88-year-old fiddle player from Knoxville, Tenn. He was a featured artist at Breakin' Up Winter, an old-time music event in March 2008 at Cedars of Lebanon State Park, Tenn. Charlie learned the tune from his father. Old Yeller Dog was originally a minstrel tune published in 1858 as "Down in Alabam" or "Aint I Glad I Got Out De Wilderness." You may think of it as the "Old Gray Mare." Played in G on a Fairbanks Whyte Ladie.

Nice clean, graceful picking on a nice old tune. I have a Fairbanks Whyte Laydie, too, which I love the sound of. You are tickling a nice tone out of that banjo.

This is a good tune we played it last night at our jam session in the park, only at a way faster pace (yikes). Nice playing - I like it.
