    Thread killer, they call me.

    Working on Spotted Pony, and also a tune that was on the New Standards Flatpicking Guitar album with David Grier and Kenny Smith called Song for Emily.

    Here's Kenny Smith playing it on his Collings OM2H guitar. (Haven't found a mandolin version to emulate, but at least you can get the gist.)

    Bill Cheatham and Salt Creek. Mostly from Bob Grants book. With some Ben Clark extras thrown in. (For me) most of Ben's stuff is a bit too non-traditional for jam circles, but cherry picking licks from his lessons make a traditional piece a little more fun to play.

    St. Anne's Reel. Just watched a youtube video of Joe Walsh at Joe Val festival playing this tune. What great phrasing and touch he has.

    Post Re: What's your new fiddle tune?

    Straight from the Brittany Haas/Dominick Leslie/Greg Liszt Master Class at "Mandolines de Lunel" (a mandolin festival in the South of France) last Autumn, where I learned the tune:

    Dominick Leslie: So the story that I've heard about this tune is that there were a couple of thieves who escaped from prison, and they stole a pig. And the cops were looking for them, they were looking for the stolen pig, you know, and so they saw the cops come in and... "Hey man, shove that pig's foot a little further into the fire so the cops won't see it."

    Brittany Haas: (laughs) That's a great story.

    Dominick: So... I'm not sure it's actually true.

    Brittany: That's really more interesting than what I've heard.

    Dominick: What have you heard?

    Brittany: It was that the pig's foot is, like, another way to call a fire poker.

    Dominick: Oh. That's probably right.

    There's a lovely video of Sarah Jarosz playing this song on Youtube. I used google chrome to slow it down to 1/2 speed, learned it and it's now one of my favorite tunes to play. I'm trying to learn Jerusalem Ridge now.

    A "pig's foot" is a blacksmiths tool, as I understand it.

    Some good information here: http://www.banjohangout.org/archive/125024
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    Here it is, for those who would like to hear it. It's not that easy to find. Is this the one you were mentioning?

    Red Wing. Another tune I haven't heard called, but it's in every book I have so Red Wing it is.

    These tunes tend to start out sounding like kids songs til you find some double stops, speed and dress it up some and then it's my favorite tune for a while.

    Red Wing is a very recognizable melody, and it's one of those tunes that if you hear it a few times, you almost can summon it without practicing it. And you're so right about the need to dress some of these tunes up or they can be tedious, or cliche or whatever.

    But you're right about it never being called.

    I've never heard it called.

    Never.

    I learned Red Wing BC a jam I go to plays it every time, I like the song and it was easy to pick out a simple melody line. It's a song I kind of work on a little each day to spruce it up with more notes and double stops and such.

    Two other tunes I'm doing this with are Grandfather's Clock and Walking Cane.
