<b>"GREASY COAT</b>. AKA and see "Old Greasy Coat." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. A Dorian. Standard or AEae (Edden Hammons) tunings (fiddle). ABCC. There are several meanings for the term 'greasy coat.' It said to have been an old-time euphemism for a condom (although verification of this in the literature is wanting), but it has also been suggested the term refers to an unwashed fleece (i.e. still retaining the lanolin), and a Confederate soldiers coat, worn, greasy and dirty from overuse. The tune was recorded from the playing of Webster County, West Virginia, fiddler Edden Hammons (1876-1955) in 1947, collected by Louis Chappell."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866857439251055987.post-77198864583949264482016-11-09T10:06:00.000-05:002016-11-09T10:06:06.136-05:00Sugar Hill<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

You want to get your eye knocked out, You want to get your fill,<br />
You want to get your eye knocked out, Go to Sugar Hill.<br />

Get a lonesome farmer, gal, I want a drink of rye;<br />
I'm a-going to Sugar Hill, Or know the reason why.<br />

Possum on the rail fence, Looking at the sun;<br />
Hound dog coming down the road, Possum better run.<br />

Possum up the 'simmon tree, Raccoon on the ground;<br />
Possum up the 'simmon tree, Shaking 'simmons down.<br />

Fourteen miles of mountain road, Fifteen miles of sand;<br />
If ever I travel this road again, I'll be a married man.<br />

Get your banjo off the wall,, Grab your fiddle, Bill;<br />
Hitch the horses to the sleigh, We're going to Sugar Hill.<br />

Well, I don't want no drover gal, Drives a four horse team;<br />
All I want's a pretty little girl, Turns her wheels by steam.<br />

Here's a great fiddle tutorial from Matt Brown!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866857439251055987.post-6659313791527433792016-11-01T16:30:00.000-04:002016-11-03T12:16:25.153-04:00Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine AABB? AB? Confused?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems like this tune creates a little chaos when folks play it together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
People have their own interpretation and understanding about the "A" part and B" part. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's my take on the matter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For a standard AABB tune, each "A" or "B" part is 8 measures long or 16 beats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Most of the time the "A" parts are nearly identical. In the case of Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
the first four measures of each "A" part are the same but not the last four measures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now the "B" part. Again each "B" part is 8 measures long or 16 beats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The "B" parts are not identical in Bonaparte so they are written out separately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The 2nd "B" part is like the "A" part in this tune, talk about confusing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In conclusion, most "square" fiddle tunes are 32 measures long or 64 beats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This matches the set of figures in a contra or square dance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Each time through the dance takes 64 beats, after which the pattern is repeated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

<a href="http://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Hollow_Poplar">HOLLOW POPLAR</a>. AKA - "Hollow Poplar Log." AKA and see "Old Hollow Poplar." Old-Time, Bluegrass; Breakdown. USA, Nebraska, Missouri, Tenn. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Popularized by Tennessee's Fiddlin' Arthur Smith. Earnest Smith, the grandson of the famous Tennessee fiddler, told Susan Songer (1997) that this tune was his father's favorite and that it was the first tune he played on the Grand Old Opry (WSM radio). Although Smith had played the tune since the 1930's, he never recorded it until he made his 'comeback' with the McGee Brothers in the late 1950's. It may have been picked up by Midwest fiddlers from Smith's radio broadcasts, or may have been independently in circulation in the region. Related tunes are "Forks of the Sandy" or "Three Forks Sandy (1)," especially the fine strain. Drew Beisswenger (2008) points to similarities of the 'B' part of "Hollow Poplar" and the 'A' part of the "Green Corn" family of tunes. In the repertoire of the Perry County Music Makers (Tenn.), Nannie Presson and Bulow Smith on zither and guitar.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
