29 Nov 04 - 04:00 PM (#1342362) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Old Horse & Buggy From: GLoux I'm guessing, but I doubt that sheet music for it exists, because it is relatively "new" to the canon of old-time fiddle tunes, that is, Art Stamper's recording of it comes after the publication of transcribed fiddle tune books like the Fiddler's Fake Book. And since he got it from his father, Hiram Stamper, it is quite old and apparently not widely known. My wife learned it a while back, but that was by ear. It is a great tune. Do you go to Clifftop? -Greg |

(Ozark Folk Center) Mountain View,AR. He taught this tune, but I didn't retain it, but I have a midi of it and can learn it by ear. I love the old time cross-tuned tunes. We work at the Folk Center during the season and this time of year is the time to learn new stuff. No, never been to Clifftop. Connie |

He's backed by John Hermann, Meredith McIntosh and Dirk Powell. There are a bunch of great tunes on it, each with the fiddle and banjo tunings included in the notes. A couple of years back, Art came to Clifftop (WVa) and gave a great workshop. -Greg |

Goodbye Girls, I'm Going to Boston, Chinquapin Hunting, Brushy Fork of John's Creek are three that I recognize. Others from his father, Hiram, are also included. The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky and includes a CD with some of the tunes from the book. -Greg |
