Old-Time, Breakdown. Composed by Seattle old-time musician Jere Canote, originally written as a banjo tune. Sadie was a cat. Carlin (Fiddle Tunes for Clawhammer Banjo), 1983.

Pogo's Delight

Still needs a little work.. Just made it up yesterday.

Roy Wooliver's Moneymusk

G Cabin Creek

Played in G. Fiddle tuned Gdgd. I learned this from another recording from the Lonesome Stragglers CD Susquehanna Waltz. I'm pretty sure Ernie Carpenter is the source for this version. https://www.slippery-hill.com/recording/cabin-creek There are several tunes that go by the name Cabin Creek. And some of those other versions go by other names. Fiddler's Companion is not much help on the version I learned. DLA does not have this version.

Flatwoods in GDAD, Round Peak Version

Shelvin Rock

Still working on the timing a bit, but it's starting to sound like I want it to.

Sugar Hill

My friend, Bill Lorton and I were playing Sugar Hill and we sounded great IMO...SO, I suggested that we stop and turn on a recorder..Well, red light fever set it... This is what we came up with. Enjoy
