Just received Edden Hammons Collection Volume I and Volume II. Playing through the CDs while I go through the day. After enough exposure, soon now, real soon, I will sit down and grab me a tune.
"Just received Edden Hammons Collection Volume I and Volume II."
Great stuff! One of my fav fiddlers. Lots of great tunes there...
Edden's tune "Big Fancy" is just wonderful. I am going to learn that before I go out shopping today.
Richmond ... great D tune

That's really cool Jim! I'd like to get my old-time band in the studio up in Mountain View this coming year for an OT CD. I really hope we can do that. The first time I heard the tune Half Past Four I really dug it! and had to learn it for sure. Here's me and my buddies picken' Half Past Four ... that we recorded from a camera the other day I think & converted to a mp3. Fun tune!

I'm digging that Half Past Four. I'm putting that on my to learn list. Always good to have another Ed Haley tune on file.
Woodwiz, I don't seem to be able to listen to your version of Half Past Four on my mac. When i click on it, it downloads as bunch of dribble that iTunes can't translate. Any tips on how to do this correctly is much appreciated.

Not quite sure what the problem is Jim. When I click on it, it plays on my "windows media player". It's just a simple mp3 file. Sorry ... maybe someone here more computer savy can help. But just incase here's a youtube of another time we played it just jamming around on it ... to give you an idea of our version of this great Ed Haley tune.

Mike, How often do you get together with your old time crew of musicians? I sometimes wish we had such an informal gathering, but i live on an island which limits the number of musicians, not to mention musicians with an ear for old time music.
I have the windows media player plugin on my Safari browser but it doesn't let me open any of these mp3s.

Jim Im lucky I found these OT pickers. They are hard core old-time. We,ve been playing together pretty steady for a little over 3 years.- and try to get together for some picking at least once a week but usually with not all six of us, 2-fiddles, clawhammer banjo, upright bass, guitar & me on mandolin. We play at a lot of bbq restaurants & pubs/private parties and such. There is much more bluegrassers around than old-time so I think it's pretty cool to have a whole band to try to show folks something they've never heard of before. Most know bluegrass but they don't really know OT. We're just trying to keep it alive. Sure wish.. I could help you with the mp3 problem . Your probably not missing much

Devil's Dream....what a fun, easy little tune. Not sure even where I found it...maybe here, sometime back?
I just started working on "The Land of Lincoln." Picked it up from a Mike Compton video on youtube. I guess it's a Monroe tune and I like it!
I haven't heard this tune "Richmond" referenced above (i.e., I'm at work and haven't listened to it yet). Is it just called, "Richmond?" Anybody know much about it? (I live in Richmond.)

Need to give the tune Richmond tune above a listen, but the only number I know of by that name is a banjo tune done by Larry Sparks with Barry Crabtree picking it. Somehow, I don't think these 2 are the same.
I love playing, "The Falls of Richmond" and "Richmond Cotillion."

There are several old-time tunes called just... "Richmond" ...The fiddlers I play with know a couple of other different tunes/melodies of the same name, then I found this version and when I played it my friend Bill the fiddler somehow knew it too so we did a quickie recording of it at one of our OT jams.
