The 8th of january/ the battle of new orleans

Well, i've already posted my banjo arrangement of this tune, but it is, after all, a fiddle tune, so I thought I'd record a fiddle rendition too. Hope you all like it!

I also hear that different frequencies have been used for what we call notes... for example I consider A to be a certain pitch, but I hear that the what some have considered 'A" is different in different regions and over time.... Maybe you and others use a different "a" than I do? best,Rose

Nice fiddling there! I have been learning a little old time myself, and had a question. I tend to play this tune in standard and have hear other versions as well as your own where I sound totally off tune! Is it the effect of recording equipment, or are you in another tuning?

My cousin sent this video to me because my Grandmammy and Grandaddy were married on the 8th of January. He was a fiddle player and played it to her on his fiddle every anniversary.

I really like the scratchiness. Makes me think of some real old-timer playing.

Yeah, and it'd be nice to be able to see the fingering

You have the style right! This must've been what it was like to sit around the fireplace back in 18__ and hear someone take out the fiddle or the banjo and play the latest tune, or the tune everyone loved!
