Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs banjo songs which Banjo Hangout members have uploaded to the website.
This version of Cold Frosty Morning is from Melvin Wine, WV fiddler, learned from his father. It's different and "happier" than the other two more commonly known tunes with this title.
Learned from the playing of a group called Ruglifters. I hadn't heard of them, but John Herrmann was their banjo player and that's good enough for me. The source recording was by the Lomaxes in 1937 by Kentucky fiddler J.W. Day.
The Tune of the Week is presenting a beauty of a WV tune. With a few variations between the family members, the one from Lee Hammons is the focus. This gave me an opportunity to draw something different.
A sand riffle is something that happens in a river or stream. It makes a neat design in the sand, but the water flowing over it is disturbed. Apparently this tune was named for one in Franklin County, TN. That's kind of neat, as I have relatives there and have hiked along one of its creeks.
