Great performance! Great old tune too - I instantly had to try it myself. Do you have the bottom string tuned up? A lot of the Irish players and some of the old-time Canadian crowd play that up here. It's sometimes called "Warm Stuff".

I know this as "Stony Point"...evidently has a lot of names (according to the fiddler's companion site).

Well played, both of you!

I enjoyed both of your efforts. Thank you.

Frank Lee of the Freight Hoppers teaches this as Stoney Point on his clawhammer banjo CD.

Ian, you are correct, this is minstrel "high bass" tuning, AF#DAd.

Thankee

The millisecond of lag on the video made it hard to tell exactly when your fingers were arriving on different notes.
