Fantastic video! Can't hardley get too much of this tune can you? Seems to be several different keys Maple Sugar is played in mostly D & G but some do E & A?
My first love was Wildwood Flower played by Mother Maybelle quite a few years ago.
My second was when I first heard Maple Sugar.
I'm glad to hear that there are so many versions of this tune as I don't think I'll be able to come close to dedepick's posting but hope springs eternal.
YEAH will the Folklore center in Ottawa Ontario has collections of Ward Allen music. check them out on the web I suppose. I do everything by ear and cannot read music (shame on me but I can read xml ;)
Is there anyway i can get the sheet music for that? The version that i can play isn't as great as yours. So yeah id really appreciate if you can get me the sheet music, you guys are awsome.
The tune is in the Phillps Collection Vol 2. Great tune. And there's as many versions as there are fiddlers. Even Appalachian. But there's no mistaking the Canadian sound, eh.
mmmhmm all i hear in the first is talking
