    We are working on "Nesser" by John Reischman. All of his fiddle tunes have this timeless quality that makes them so appealing. Plus his tone is something else. Vintage and unique, indeed.

    I just discovered "The Lover's Waltz" by Molly Mason and Jay Ungar. SO PRETTY!! I found it in both G and D. Jay wrote that when they perform it they will play it in both keys, and in G, he plays the B part an octave up on the second time through. My new project!

    I want to eventually record myself accompanying myself on guitar, and maybe banjo also.

    How about Little Billy Wilson? Kinda similar to Half-Past Four in places.

    Dick Sand's Hornpipe on both mandolin and violin. Great triplets!

    Thanks for the tune name, Jack. I found two versions of Dick Sands Hornpipe on YouTube. I can't find Dick Sands Hornpipe for mandolin. One version can likely be found by googling Dé Danann. Has gorgeous chords which almost led me to believe it was a different tune with the same name. The other version can be found by googling Bill Shull & Charlie Walden, the two fiddlers.

    Is it allowed here to post links? If so, could you please post the link you have for fiddle and mandolin?

    Fantastic rollicking tune, Jack! Love this video (music starts about 20 seconds in):



    Whoops! I didn't see that post. Here's the other Dick Sands video. I am not sure they are the same tune. Shull and Walden are Missouri-style musicians.

    Thanks for posting these, Jim. I am playing pretty much the second version and it is a kick. Stringalong: I play the same tune for mandolin and violin. I can post notation if you like.

    These two videos don't sound like the same tune to my ear, but I'm pretty deaf nowadays and can't really tell. I can tell that in both versions they are enjoying the triplets!

    John Brown's March, in the version from Norman Blake's mando DVD. I love these old Civil-War era tunes. There's something haunting about them.

    I just started "For Lak of Gold I Lost Her" from a 1760 tune book. It is an A-B part Clog with a variation, then a second variation in Jig time. There are another couple of version on the 'net, but nothing on youtube yet.

    Hey Jack: you always post interesting tunes, but I would appreciate, if possible, if you could provide links for your sources. I did find this one in the Caledonian Pocket Companion (1760). Is that the one you found?

    Very cool find, in any case. That will keep me busy for a while along with some of the other old books on that site.

    Yes, that's the one. I'll provide links in the future. For now, follow Jim's link, go to volume III page 2. I'll post the notation.

    I like the way it switches to a gig at the end. The first variation is a good workout for the left hand.

    In the notation, I'm playing the two 16th notes followed by an 8th note as a triplet.

    Sort of, both in (A) 'cept Little Billy Wilson has 3 parts to 2 parts of Half Past Four and the chords are a bit different flow.
    Here's my take on both...

    Have gotten the following under my fingers since starting learning Bluegrass a month ago: Whiskey Before Breakfast, Cherokee Shuffle, New Camptown Races, Soldier's Joy, June Apple and Cold Frosty Morning. My bluegrass tutor has given me a list of standards and mandolin/Monroe pieces to work on over the holidays which are the following:

    East Tennessee Blues, Ragtime Annie, Bill Cheatham, Old Daingerfield, Jerusalem Ridge, Old Ebeneezer, El Cumbanchero, St. Anne's Reel (have this one from trad), Salt Creek, Dear Old Dixie, Dixie Hoedown, Rawhide, Wildwood Flower and Beaumont Rag.

    Open to more suggestions for standards. Plenty of fantastic tunes out there but looking to build a solid bluegrass and old-time foundation before taking the liberty to learn whatever.
