Old-Time Music

AJ Srubas making 140 bpm look easy. Clean and fast!

Great version of this tune from the exceptionally happy Canote Brothers

Judy Hyman played this tune on Bob Carlin's Banging and Sawing record back in 1996, and here it is again in 2024, Ithaca style.

Nice twin fiddle version of this tune, which is apparently from the english ballad.

"They've invented a new machine, I peg one shoe it pegs fifteen"

From Tricia Spencer's 2012 solo album. I think that's probably with Mark Ward on banjo and Betse Ellis also on fiddle.

Ripping version of this mississippi tune from "Jeb and Mark" plus Andy on bass according to the comments. No idea who's playing guitar. No one looks up!

carter brothers version.

Tractor Family version, Ithaca style.

Travis and Trevor Stuart playing an original G tune "Henry King's Reel". Frequently called at my local jams. Travis is playing a two finger banjo style instead of the usual clawhammer.

Cool ragtimey tune, with train activity in the background. The 1929 original from Prince Albert Hunt’s Texas Ramblers. "Feel like a jug of molasses"

The Horsenecks with Wave the Ocean followed by a great version of the fiddle tune Flowers of Edinburgh starting at 3:45. The tune is related to, but different from the scottish one.

Melodic guitar version of Snake Chapman's tune.

A lopey John Salyer tune I've been learning the last few days.

That'd be Judy Hyman and Jeff Klaus of the Horseflies (fiddle & guitar), John Herrman (banjo) of Chicken Train, and a young Gus Tritsch on fiddle. Lately Gus has been touring with Jake Blount.

Lush twin fiddle version of Lady Hamilton from Marcus Martin.

Ripping version of Round Barn from Garry Harrison.

the old time version of the bluegrass standard

Some fancy flatfooting from Nic Gareiss!

Grooving track from the chicken chokers.

Banging old time from the "Goodbye Girls". Tune is AKA John Brown's Dream.

Love Dan Gellert's syncopated feel on this one.

Jammin version of tater patch by "the bailers".

This is a crooked Metis tune, from the same tradition as the more well known Grey Owl. David Bragger & Susan Platz learned it from Jamie and they have a pretty good version too.

Snowtown, a crooked tune from Sami Braman.

AJ Srubas is the fiddler on this. Always solid! He won clifftop in 2023.
