"golden slippers"

[8STRINGR]

Hello again, folks!

Does anyone know where I can find to download or to at least listen to the tune, "Golden Slippers" ? I was sent a set list last night of the songs that we'll be playing at a benefit show this evening along with another band that will be including this tune and I'm not that fimiliar with how it goes. We're kind of combinding two bands for this event. This is one of the songs I'll need to know to play with them.

Any help with this at a last minute notice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all!

Do a search on iTunes. There are many recordings to choose from.

Best of luck !!

Try Mandozine in the tabledit tab files. That's where I got mine from.

iTunes, Get a version from Bryan Bowers', "The view from Home". I think Sam Bush plays the mando part.

Nice.

theres a great Mando version on the double CD "Bluegrass Mandolin extravaganza" By Grisman and 6 other great mandolinists, the whole CD is Just mando mando mando well worth the price, Or you could probably just buy the tune you want from iTunes

There is also a great version on the "Front Porch" CD. #Sam Bush is on the mandolin with a cast of stellar others -- like Tony Rice? #I think it might be one of the Cracker Barrel CD's -- check your nearest Cracker Barrel restruant.

Lost&Found did it on their 'Just Pickin' recording, nice harmonized version bt. banjo and mandolin.

Here's (http://www.stephen-foster-songs.de/Amsong35.htm) a link with an MP3 of a piano instrumental of the tune. Simple, rousing, great harmony. Good luck learning it in a day (been there, done that).

Here's #nice slow version -- not fancy but nice clean mandolin picking -- just the basic melody -- the group is the "Gray Sky Girls" -- maybe a take off on the "Blue Sky Boys"? Or maybe they are just from Dixie?

Nice harmonies!

Did you use any of the ideas you got? You revieved a lot of them. What happened?

[Glassweb]

Check out Andy Statman's version of Golden Slippers on his latest CD - "East Flatbush Blues"... unbelievable mandolin playing!

To All who had replied to my much needed info I say, "Thank You!" I checked mostly all of your suggestions from what I could pull up on line. I had also did a search on YouTube and had pulled up several fiddle versions along with a few banjo and mandolin versions as well. I had an idea of the second half of the song after someone had reminded me that years ago, "Golden Grahams' Cereal" had did a TV commercial using that very tune. Anyone else remember seeing it? That part "clicked" but the first half had me worried.

End result... it turned out fine!

Thanks again everyone! #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif # http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif
