    Default Setauket?

    I'm looking for a fiddle tune called Setauket. I believe that it might be a tune by William Sidney Mount. William Sidney Mount was a famous black fiddle player and painter from Setauket, New York. A friend of mine heard a band from St. Louis playing it and I'm trying to find the music or a recording of it somewhere.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Apparently Jeff Davis recorded in on his CD Some Fabulous Yonder, according to his website.

    It's also listed as the second tune played on this YouTube clip, by the Mound City Slickers, a St. Louis MO fiddle band. Possibly that's the band your friend heard.




    Don't want to sound like Mr. Computer Guy (that's my kid, the software engineer at Google), but this took about 15 minutes of Google searching. Amazing what's available out there...

    I wonder if anyone would still be attentive this this thread? I found a most beautiful version of "Setauket"
    played by the Kansas fiddlers Tricia Spencer & Mark Ward (Barb Zavon on guitar). I'm totally bewitched & intrigued by the syncopation in this version and the lovely harmony of two fiddles. I've not heard the Jeff Davis version, but would like to. Ms Spencer included this on her CD, "Fiddlin' Like There's No Tomorrow."

    Thanks Rod. Yes, Tricia lives here in town. It's always great to get to play with her. She learned it from the person I first heard it from (Geoff Seitz from St Louis).
