Is there a video with this ? All I got was a blank screen.
That was one of the first tunes I learned. Love it! 
.
But seems to me it was called Bile them cabbage down. I know that doesn't make sense but I could swear that's what my book said.
Now I gotta dig through my old fiddle books to find out. 
Wont be abel to sleep til I do.
Anyway its alot of fun to play and you can go on and on and on and on.

Purely from the power of suggestion, I kept hearing "up kitty, down kitty" as you played...
Barry, I notice the way you hold a bow, Is that common to fiddle or just the way you feel comfortatle playing?
Thank you for this video. Where I live people play a lot of fiddle but I haven't gotten into it really, maybe I should.

Thanks for the post Barry. I remember that shuffle from a Mel Bay book when I was young. I think that they called it "Bile em Cabbage Down". One of the few that I remember.
I'm sure a lot of members and visitors will learn this shuffle thanks to you.
Look forward to part two.

Here is the music that I jotted down ages ago and used for a string quartet version. I have 3 more parts to go with it that I will save as PDF later. It's got a few variations in it too.

Wow that freaked me out. What's Gilligan doing in there? That must have been before the shipwreck.

Keep in mind, the orchestra version is played slightly different. I have it also in essential elements and its played with a bit different feel.
I like the country feel. I don't like hearing classical players play this stuff with vibrato and too much perfection. Needs to have that special folk music feeling. Someday I hope to conquer the feeling. I won a bluegrass competition when I was 11 in Palm Beach County but I liked the way everyone else played much better. I think they gave me first place because I was a little squirt playing fast and clean. They should have tossed me out of there instead.

Wow ... Andy Griffith! And Maynard G Krebbs ... takes me back to my childhood.
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're probably right.

A piece called Rubber Doll Rag and the other one I can play it, sing it, write it on paper but I don't remember the name. LOL
Starts with an eighth note pick-up open E and continues with only 16th notes. I'll try to find that one in my music collection. Apparantly I played it at 100MPH... My parent said I was finished right after I got up there and they had never heard me play anything that fast before.
