    That's some pretty nice playing there, Mr Sweeney. Do you also play mandolin? Going to have to take a close look at Dixie Hoedown.

    To Jim Roberts. No I picked up the Blake's March on this thread. And Chinquapin Hunting has long been on my list and finally got around to it recently. The A of CH is easy as pie. The second B has a slightly tricky end that melds back into the A without any rest.

    Thanks Jim, yes I've been known to play the mandolin as well, can't really do Ashland or Dawg Daze on octave anyway, got hooked on that Dixie Hoedown, Phillips Grier and Flinner did it live up in Galway NY this summer.

    Not really a new fiddle tune to me, but new to me on the mandola, Old Mother Flanagan's, from the Dan Gelo book, the Pigtown Fling record, and Norman and Nancy Blake show.

    Ever since someone posted a video of Matt Flinner playing Midnight on the Water, I've been loving the tune.

    I gave my daughter a copy of it to learn on her violin and we played it together this evening for the first time ... lovely tune!

    I am sure that Matt does a lovely job of playing it but I always like to go to an earlier source. This is Benny Thomasson, a champion Texas-style fiddler, playing this tune written by his father Luke, another champion fiddler:

    Thanks Jim! I saw that one when you posted it on the Matt Flinner thread, ... it also popped up multiple times while searching for info on the tune.

    For the A and B parts I was learning from this video of Sierra Hull and Stuart Duncan ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfBPcw0y2YU ), since that's what inspired me to begin learning it. However I confess that after the B part Sierra's playing gets a bit too radical for me to follow (even at a slower speed) without knowing the basic tune first. So I've been learning the rest from a recording by Jacob Joliff and Ian Fleming from the album "Tone Poets." It's clear, well-played, and not too embellished.

    What about this guy? He is pretty good, I think.



    Also, I found this backup track for that tune and you can even slow it down a bit in YouTube.

    It's true I should probably learn straight from the source!

    And thanks for the backup track! I always love playing to those when I'm working on a tune.

    Well, the Monroe version is probably most appropriate for learning the tune outright anyways since it is even less embellished than the second recording I was using. I'll learn the rest of the tune from Monroe and then look around at variations.
