From England have to say the tradition that you pass on is much loved all over here too...did you know most your traditional music has roots in English folk.

A Scottish fiddler called Ali Bain made a tv programme travelling all over America showing how it originated. See Transatlantic Sessions.

But this is superb, thanks for posting

I think with traditional songs, the lyrics often change. There's no "right" way here.

[easygrip]

i think that is supposed to be "smoke behind the still" and not "smoke behind the steel."

[FancyGapClawhammer]

It is "Smoke Behind the Still", it's just the way he talks.

[FancyGapClawhammer]

But the editors obviously put it the way it sounded..

Wonderful Music Folks! Love it ALL! And proud to call you friends!

Great job and good story. My Great grand mother played a dulcimer that she made herself, she was from the VA hills. Keep it alive!

Dear Tom and daughter, I am a fiddler from Germany and I love Old Time Music. I envy you for growing up with this fine kind of music and for your possibility playing together. I wish you health and many years to keep playing on.

Old timey greetings from Karin
