I have to push the CRITTER tune boundary again - for good reason! 

 

The Dust Busters with John Cohen - a tune from their "Old Man Below" album.

@ABitRusty -

...is that what they call a broken record?  Can't believe you made me listen for 4 minutes... just to see if anything would change! (lol) 

Sorry about the "western" - should've just said Western Film Theme.  I had no where else to stick it.

@ABitRusty -

The "Old Buzzard - Old Time Fiddle Tune" was definitely different, but it was one of those subtle tunes, like it was begging for someone to sing a song (or the needle was stuck on the record) - makes me feel how the dog looked in the video. 🙄 

I know... I'm so uncouth. dunno

@ABitRusty -   

It's understandable that type of tune developed for dancing - being more about rhythm and beat, than a melody. 

Just was listening to many more of La Bottine Souriante's tunes.  They are very devoted to traditional Québécois folk music with the Podorythmie and I shouldn't be surprised that I ran across quite a few of this type of tune in their repertoire.

...thought you'd get a laugh out of "Turkey Buzzard" (aka. Shoot That Turkey Buzzard) by John Hartford - it's an older tune, but guess you can add anything you want to the song - as long as "Shoot that Turkey Buzzard" gets thrown in there.  Kinda reminded me of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant". 🤣 

 

Here's just the Fiddle tune.  The record says Fiddlin' Jim Burke, but the video description says played by Fiddlin' Doc Roberts & Asa Martin (1928) 🤔:

More CATS!  ...and cross-tuned! 

I don't remember seeing this one before, "Grey Cat on a Tennessee Farm".  

Performed by Hillary Klug, she said: 

This authentic Tennessee old-time tune was written by a Tennessee banjo player, Uncle Dave Macon. I recorded this tune in calico tuning (AEAC#) on my record, but I normally play it in GDAD tuning.

@elcbk ive been learning a clawhammer version of sandy boys and wanted to record a fiddle/claw of it.  I Have fiddle in AEAE and banjer in sawmill capo 2.. Im just tryin to get a bit smoother on fiddle, so I went looking for some fiddle  versions i like and stumbled on this.   you have to listen!  not your typical old time.  sandy boys and quail is a pretty bird have very similar melodies so how i ended up here...😉

@ABitRusty -

"The Quail Is a Pretty Bird" is a very nice, laid-back tune! 

Thanx for sharing it! 

 

While yer in a fowl mood, check out this trio on fiddle & clawhammer - think would go nice, too.

You might want to look at the link in the video description. 😊

...so nobody even noticed the video missing in my previous post... well I stuck that grey cat in there, now. (lol)

@elcbk lukas has some great videos!  ive been watching alot of his the last couple of weeks.  the one he does on sandy boys is amazing.  duck river is a fun tune.   the matt brown fiddle version is my favorite but she is great here too.  very similar in style in my opinion.

Seems like everything I've sampled from Lukas & Eden Pool all have the same feel - very similar, like this CRITTER tune  <a style="color: #0000ff" href="
