This is a beautiful traditional fiddle tune that was recorded in March 2011 at (now defunct) band practice.
The lineup is: Me (on my custom top-tension banjo), Shane Lail on guitar, Keith Cole on upright bass, David Heavner on mandolin, and George Giddons on fiddle.
We pulled this tune out of the air and this was the 2nd take on trying to work it up. Since it had been years since I dusted this tune off, I am a little rusty at the beginning, then it comes back to me by the end of the recording, where I am dropping in some note-for-note harmony on banjo.
Recorded on a cheap digital voice recorder, so it's a tad hot. This is a cool snapshot of the organic process of how tunes are worked up in a band. And, a slightly different arrangement of this cool old fiddle tune.
Enjoy!
(EDIT: Shane and I have talked about tying to at least get something together, and we got to jam a few weeks ago for the first time in a while. Bands are like trying to herd cats sometimes :)
