Thread Name: Need help identifying a fiddle tune
Subject: RE: Need help identifying a fiddle tune
Re-listening to the voice comments at the beginning:
Very faint voice in the background asks:
"Alright, what's the name of the song."
Indistinct mumbler sounds like:
"This is Vernon, this piece we're going to play we got from Forest Rogers …Pete's Lonely Yard."
Background voice, much louder asks:
"And where is Forest Rogers?"
"Answer clear:
"He's in the Army …" etc.
The best I can make out – without being really certain – is that a group with a member called "Vernon" (or "Vern" with an attached mumble) got the tune from someone named "Forest Rogers," and they called the tune "Pete's Lonely Yard." The "Lonely Yard" bit sounds fairly clear, the "Pete's" has an attached "uh" perhaps and is less distinct, so a bit uncertain.
Spellings of course are guesses, and none of the voice parts that matter are distinct enough to be really certain.
Any info on the source of the sound file? The informal program, careful track ident, etc. sounds a bit like maybe an audition or a contest tryout/preliminary, perhaps?
