Marching Through Georgia~fiddle & banjo duo~Hillar Bergman and James Carr

This clip was recorded with a stationary VHS camera in the Ocala National Forest at the Juniper Springs camping area on Feb. 19, 1996. The time stamp was unintentionally embedded in the copy I have. Nothing but the campfire for light until a Coleman lantern was brought over.

I'm almost afraid to ask this question. Are you playing this in B flat?

I've tried every harmonica I have and none fit the key you're playing in.

I just tuned the fiddle to the banjo, which was in tune to itself (most likely not 440 pitch). If it was 440, we'd be in the key of "G". With a harmonica, you would be out of luck unless it was tuneable.

I will have to check and see if you have some cd's out. Great teamwork. Thanks.

My Great Grandfather was champion fiddler from Kansas. One of the few stories was the fights started when they'd gone south to Baton Rouge & Waco, & still closed every night with Marching through Georgia

very enjoyable to listen to

Thanks for the info.  I tried playing along in G and it almost fits.
