This first video randomly appeared on my youtube suggested videos, and while it doesn't actually have a violin in it, it inspired me to look for a good violin version of the song.

I found a good violin version which I've also shared below, though I really need something simpler to work from!

Jim When I read the topic for some reason I went to grandpa jones or stringbean and thought you were getting a bluegrass bug 😊. I wont share either but you may wanna check one of them out even though theyre banjo centric.   Think its basically the same melody.  idk though... i could just be trying to make it fit because of the name.

I Really like Rhiannons version of the two.  But as far as the topic song...Thats not one Ive hunted for or listen to so dont know of any breakdown of it type vids.  I remembered hearing it when you shared though.

 

EDIT

Peak fiddler has a version with his sheet music

@Jim Dunleavy -

Shore 'nuff, here's as simple as it gits! 

Real Old Mountain Dew (the 2nd version has both A & B parts)

...sometimes I find things in the most unlikely places & figured it didn't hurt to check - I've found stranger things at The Session. 😊 

 

Oops, didn't realize there is actually a rock cover band called "Shore 'nuff"!  🤔... they aren't bad (but they don't play this song).

Thanks, I'll check those out. Peak Fiddler is usually a pretty good source.
