Ragtime Annie

Fiddle tune in the key of D played by Rex McGee, two part version. Popular in and around Stokes and Surry County, I guess it was on the radio in the 30's and 40's and picked up by my PapaGee and his musician friends around then.

Isn't there a second part to rag-time annie?

[banjorex]

I play two parts. There is a third part popular in Texas and I recorded that part as on "Trip to the Moon", a recording with Footloose, A North Carolina based dance band.

Do you do any instructional vids for these...you have a great sounds and spice to the tunes

I know what AccordionTony is looking for in that tune...Go to sdmemorylane's channel and that version of Ragtime Annie does the part, which could be the third part you are referring to. By the way, great job !

Brilliant!! I might just be inspired to haul out the old fiddle and have another go at it, having convinced myself years ago that proper fiddling was all done with smoke and mirrors and, besides, whenever the dog sees mine, she hides under the bed.

Seriously, VERY helpful; thanks.
