Great old time fiddling. I love that you posted this out in a field too :) AND you sang while playing. Not many people do that anymore. For any of you budding fiddle players who want to learn this tune, I teach Soldier's Joy for free on my channel. I post a new lesson for fiddle, guitar, and mandolin there every single week! You can also get the full lesson and the sheet music on my website.
Thanks for keeping this, Truman, it's a treasure to see how all this fiddlin' and callin' works. WE like it! And yes, Soldier's Joy is a great tune, and a whole lot of fun.
I doubt my nickle counts for anything, but for my nickle, these videos of truman's are some of the highest value stuff on the internet. I've learned to fiddle partly by watching them (click on my link to see a couple of samples from me)
Hey - glad you didn't "dump this one" ! Just knowing that old-time fiddlers could call while they fiddled is amazing to me -- sort of a great window into those old barn dances !
Great fiddling, as usual! I always enjoy your work. Thanks for posting it. By the way, do you have any albums of your playing available? God Bless You.
Love it, and love the way you hold the fiddle!

Soldier's Joy has been around for about 500 years (or perhaps longer). It's a great tune and that's why it's still being played. Good job!
