Hey guys, take a listen to the Chris Coole/Ivan Rosenberg version of Farewell Trion. Masterful arrangement. And with no mandolin, it's a great tune to add your own, and learn to play it.

I'm currently working on "Lost Indian" by Red Smiley & the Bluegrass Cut-ups. I believe that's Gene Burris on the mandolin.
Does anybody know if that's Sam Bush playing mandolin on Kenny Baker's version of "Lost Indian"? Sounds very much like Mr. Bill himself ...
The version we do of "Fort Smith" revisited ... front porch pickin with my friends the other day.

Turkey in The straw, and for this Greenhorn was quite a feat took me 26 days to get it fluid.
JS 26 days to get fluid? Sisterdale (?) must be awful dry, I didn't find the bars so far apart in Austin
Well I hafta admit since the medical profession deemed a couple shots of good whiskey healthy, I keep a quart handy. always knew it must have some medicinal value
So allow me to reinterate my playing became passable after 26 days of hard work. I keep trying to remember who that $&@/;$&(& was that told me mandolin was easier than guitar.
Good luck
Pig on the engine and Cuffey. Cuffey is fairly easy. Tableedit really helps getting down POTE, it's a fine tune, and makes me realize what a good key F can be for the mandolin.
Farewell Trion. What a fun tune.
We play Cuffey in (G). Cool tune!

Massasoit Hornpipe. The tune caught my eye because Massasoit has many streets and places named after him near where I used to live. He died in 1665, but I can't find any information about how old this fiddle tune is. Anyone know?
I'm playing the version from "Mandolin Player's Pastime".

It is also very holiday relevant for this week.
According to Andy Kunst's site it goes at least back to 1883:
MASSASOIT HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Massasoit was Chief of the Wampanog Indians, who attended the first Thanksgiving in the new colony at Plymouth, Massachusetts. The previous winter had been a hard one—nearly half of the original 102 Pilgrims perished—and Massasoit and his tribesmen had helped the survivors by teaching them how to plant the native corn, using fish fertilizer. That autumn the harvest had been plenty, and the game abundant, and in thanks Governor Bradford invited Massasoit and ninety of his warriors to the feast; thus, as Stuart Berg Flexner points out (in Listening to America, 1982) the Native Americans outnumbered the Pilgrims at the meal. Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; pg. 93. Ryan’s Mammoth Collection, 1883; pg. 128.
