Yellow Gal is an old traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tune. A Missouri fiddler by the name of Ron Hughey (1914-1974) was known for playing it and he had never heard it played outside of his family ... in an article about the tune. It also has been refered to mulatto women and buffalo gals. It's for sure a really old tune.

The Yellow Barber....so many good versions. I really like Andrew Collins rippin it on "Little Widgets"....what great tone
Cheyenne, Bb/Gm. And I pick the B part, thought not many did, but since have been listening to DG Rounder Record, Dawggy does it, so did the late great Dempsey Young.
My latest are Roscoe( ala Jerry Lundy) and Woodchopper's breakdown.
Woodchoppers is a fun one to play, quite the arpeggio workout!

Catlettsburg is really a cool OT tune. We played that one today at our OT practice. Well ...our fiddle players know it very well. I got to learn that one. You wouldn't by chance have it tabbed out would ya?

This week it's Waverly and Swannanoa Waltz. I love these tunes that let me drone on the 5 string while banging out the melody on the 1 string. Doing Waverly with 2 fiddles transforms it into the hypnotic exercise of old time music-as-pulse. I also recommend that all folks who like this kind of pulsing fiddle tune, give a listen to the CD by Rayna Gellart and friends. Good stuff.

MAN, if all of us who posted in this thread could jam together, we'd have one helluva session!
I'm supposed to be working on Fly Around Pretty Little Miss for a dance in a week. The Rayna Gellert version. I'll get it down when I finally get some time to work on it.
Recently got Late for the Dance down pat. Very cool, hypnotic tune in A cross tuning.
So many tunes, so little time.

...I wonder how the old folks are at home...
that's a very good idea. I'd go so far as to say that anyone visiting the Seattle area with a few extra days tagged on to get to the San Juan Islands and back to the airport, should give me a shout via the Cafe. I'm always game to jam with players who might even add a few new tunes to my repertoire. Axe murderers and Celtic purists need not apply.

That would be more than a few new tunes for me. Walnut Valley Festival in Sept. is pert near middle of the US. You old-timey mandolin players git on down to Winfield, we'll pick till we're picked out. Look for a red cafe hat.

If I get up there to Winfield this year I'm looking you up man! Someone mentioned Jaybird Died with the Whooping Cough so I had to learn it. Great tune!

If you do make it to Winfield, we have a great jam at the Carp Camp in the morning that we like to call...Old-time in the Morning. Nothing better to start your day!
Let's see. Will I have to get up early, or stay up late? Hmmmm.............quite a perdicament. No matter, I suspect we'll see each other in some sweet September AM. Two months, anticipation, longing.

Walk Old Shoe..........it's a tune in D that was posted in the Song a Week Group. It's got a simple and fun melody but it's just infectious! I played it all night last night.
