Cripple Creek w/ Snap Jackson

Georgiana Starlington Waltz

The melody for this tune came into my head as I was driving along I-65 in southern Alabama one day. I pulled off at exit 114, which is the exit for two towns, Starlington & Georgiana (the boyhood home of Hank Williams Sr.). So that's how it got its name. It's a local favorite now and I try to play it every chance I get. It's one of the cuts from my solo CD 'The Raven's Wing'. I don't know what genre to put it under-it's an old-time country waltz that might also be played by twin fiddles in a...

Blue Christmas Blues

Christmas Card: 2012 (UPDATE: Replaced original file with a new mix.) Made famous by Elvis Presley, our version was arranged, rehearsed, and recorded, over 4 nights during the week before Christmas.

This is an original tune from my new CD 'The Raven's Wing'. I wrote it as part of a suite of tunes inspired by Fairhope author Sonny Brewer's book 'The Poet of Tolstoy Park'.

WHISKEY BEFORE BREAKFAST

Kansas City Kitty + Hadacol Rag

This is my husband Fred and I playing Kansas City Kitty in the key of "G" that we learned from Tim Martin of Gatesville at the Pearl, Texas jam. (www.pearlbluegrass.com) The 2nd and 3rd time through we play "Hadacol Rag" because it uses the same exact chords and the style seems to match. I don't have written music for the Kansas City Kitty part but you can get sheet music for the Hadacol Rag version we're playing from Hollis Taylor's book "Championship Polkas and Rags" (http://www.hollistaylor.c...
