I'm still deciding on a tune, will post this evening :)
Okay so after much thinking I'm going with Sally Come Up from Buckley 1868. I've never played it and it doesn't seem to be all over YouTube so I figure we can fix that. I will try and post sooner than I usually do.
Cool. I’ve never played it either so it’ll be a new one...
You found a tune Paul doesn't know???!!! How deep in the archive did you have to find that?? LOL
I watched Tim's video from about 10 years ago. I noticed it's all hammer strokes, very little thumb. Although as I was feeling it out, it almost sets up to alternate finger-thumb...now it's got me thinking...
Has anybody used the Lester Levy Collection lately? It seems to have changed, and a search is not as easy as it was. I wanted to find source material for "Sally Come Up"
Hi Tim - I just found this: https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/2085/discover
Ignore that link. I had a page with sally come up, but that’s not the link...
Try this link:
Here’s another version: http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/collection/024/102
(You’re right, not easy to find...)
Thanks. The search engine has changed. so....it's cool to see where these songs came from, isn't it? Most have DNA in something
In my mind, when I encounter a new "banjo" song from back then, I put it into one of three categories.....
