27 Jan 03 - 02:14 PM (#875918) Subject: Mandolin Chimes - the Tune From: Ebbie Does anyone know anything about this tune- who wrote it, how old is it, did anyone else record it? I learned it from Bill Yohey, a family friend, back about 1960 or a bit earlier. I looked up the tune in Google and the only reference it gives is to Bill's LP. Bill was a fiddler, very active in the OldTime Fiddler's Assoc. So far as I know he didn't write tunes himself, although a tune he called 'My Dad's Waltz' he said had been in his family for a long time. He died in the early 90s, I think; he would have been in his upper 70s, I believe. |

It's a nice tune. I'm teaching it to a friend, but I'd like to have a bit of information on it. Never thought about asking Bill about it 30 -40 years ago. |
