Old time c tune resource

[jus]

Hi all, just stumbled across this:

http://slippery-hill.com/c/

more C tunes than you can shake a stick at, I particularly like playing Hell Broke Loose in Georgia on the mandolin, it fits really nicely, I learnt my version from the Bing Bros. but there is a Skillet Licker version on this site plus tons of other great stuff.

This is great, just the other night we were trying to think up C tunes in a jam. Let me just say we weren't in C for very long.

Thanks for the resource!

Justin: Your version of Hell Broke Loose (the Bing version) different from Skillet Lickers' version? I picked the Lickers one out a while back and didn't know how it compared to other versions out there. Not too many around here play it.

thanks.

Hi David, the Skillet Lickers' version of HBLIG is a bit different to the way that the Bing bros do it , from memory at least, I don't have my Bing bros recording with me.

There is also the tune Streak of Lean Streak of Fat recorded by A.A. Gray which is very similar but with a longer section in A minor which is a great version to learn as well, maybe more fiddlers play this one--at least I've played it with a few...

I heard Uncle Earl a few months ago, they play the dilly version, streak o lean. I recently learned the skillet lickers Hell Broke Loose in GA, and was comparing them both. Three out of the four parts are pretty close in both versions.

I;m going to be up all night thanks to the Fiddler's Convention link I found at this site. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

They have Farewell Trion listed, but no link. That's a great tune. It's on Bob Carlin's Bangin' and Sawin'.

I created the C Tune page. I e-mailed Carlin for permission to use the tune from that recording but he never answered me. Probably wouldn't care but.......
