Southern String band I really like your version of Cumberland Gap its such a great old tune but it has so many variations now, in style as well as melody, From old time to bluegrass and even to rock. Folks play very different tunes often. I like yours - it keeps to old timey feel, preserves the melody and has plenty of tempo -- I patterned my version after your video after listening to many others play it. I wish you would post more of you songs!

Thanks for your kind comments about the tune. We play a much simplified version of the tune as played by Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham of Surry County, N.C. You can hear their version on iTunes. The quickest way to find it is to search on Fred Cockerham and scroll down the resulting tune list. Mike
