As played by August Merrill, Missouri fiddler, and collected by R.P. Christeson. Missouri tunes are often notey, and I suspect with more familiarity, I'd want to simplify this more for banjo ease.

Banjo fans..Im posting an old recording (1985) of two tunes by Sousa. I recently found (its easy to loose things when you move a lot) this recording of the Sousa tunes which features Mary Levine, a staff pianist with ?The American Ballet Theatre, New York..Her Husband, Joe was the conductor for many years.
John Salyer's tune, played out of "Old-G" tuning. I pulled it out of another of my *.mp3's at the hangout: "Old G-athon" which has four other tunes with it.
I learned this beautiful arrangement from watching Dave Hum on YouTube. It is in the beautiful Double C tuning. I'm using a capo on the second fret, and on the seventh fret of the 5th string. Key of D. I tabbed out the song, which you'll find in the tabs area of the forum. For this recording I am using my Deering Goodtime Special banjo. Enjoy!

I am playing along with Dave Hum's original backing track, which you can purchase at his family's website. Enjoy!

A modern composition of an old-timey tune. It's a bit challenging to play with its timing, but pleasant and lively. The "Golden Ticket" may have originated as a well-understood concept from the book and movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Alternative title: Sketch after a Tune by Gautier d'Espinal
As played by WV fiddler Ralph Roberts, recorded by Don Borchelt and Jimmy Triplett. John's Tune is short little tune and fun to hear and play. It's named after the fiddler's grandfather who began every fiddle session with it!
A-B Cherokee Shuffle in G with guitar backup
Cherokee Shuffle in G (forgot capo:)
Thanks to Carl Baron who has shared a tune he's performed often in a special place at a folk festival. I don't get to see these remarkable little scenes of nature, but I can imagine their bright flight at night.
