@colindominy --I don't know about charlie higgins, but my grandpa burton played fiddle in north
carolina-I don't know if he ever heard or played w/tommy--they moved during WWII to the virginia area so he
could work on the navy boats-he was a carpenter too-later they moved to florida where he continued to
play fiddle at the golden agers club

That was special. Tommy Jarrell is a national treasure.
Alice Gerrard and Mike Seeger look so young here.

That sounds like the same tuning that Hattie Stoneman uses on Cumberland Gap. I knew an old time banjer picker near Townsend, TN. named Commie Tipton who used that tuning for Cumberland Gap. G tuning is the bluegrass way, but the old time tuning is what I prefer for this song. Thanks for posting it.

@ArkRed1 I think its g#C#F#BE, an E tuning. You can tune it down a step to f#BEAD to play in D.

Tommy is the genuine article .. one of the authentic Old Masters. If anyone out there happens to know .. I wonder if you could let me know .. did Tommy, by chance, ever know or play with another Old-Time Grand Master - a feller named Uncle Charlie Higgins, of Galax VA (who in turn used to play with Wade Ward & Dale Poe, back when) ... any word would be much appreciated.

I heard once that a violin is a great instrument to grow old with, because you never stop learning what it can do. I'm from the land of Scottish Fiddlers, Cape Breton Island, so can understand. I play as well, on my Grandfathers fiddlle. God bless the ol' fellas....they help us keep the tradition alive!
