I hate to pile on, Frankie, but you really are one heck of a good singer.
thanks, all of you guys... I actually did a Washington Phillips tune on the tiple last year... I thought I'd posted it in here, somewhere, but I can't find it. My mum likes Mother's Prayer best, but this one is ok:
Yeah, that's the one it reminded of. So great, and such a beautiful tune. And makes me crave a tiple.
Great fiddling and singing. You should consider changing your name to Prof Scratchy? Er...no...wait...

Very cool. The fingering looks like you're playing it out of G in standard tuning, is that right?
What a great idea to transfer that over to the fiddle, Frank! Your little time lick on the fiddle has a nice rocking feel to it, and your falsetto is real pretty. That one should be on a record.
All best, Johnm thanks, all of you. Prof, "scratchy" takes on a whole new meaning when I pick up the bow, doesn't it?
lastfirst - std, G - that's right. John - thanks - I've played it for years, just because I thought it seemed so obvious to do and someone else MUST have done it, but it seems like it's only obvious to me. I'm glad you like it - I haven't played it for too many people and honestly, the reviews are usually kind of mixed, tilted toward the "puzzled." I still like it, though (if that doesn't sound too self congratulatory). I thought it seemed so obvious to do and someone else MUST have done it, but it seems like it's only obvious to me. To me, that's the absolute best kind of "obvious", Frank. Good going! Beautifully understated, Frank!
I agree with you. Having spent a lot of time in various jug band configurations, the fiddle and the mouth harp have very similar "voices" and roles in a band, and it's rare that you ever hear them together unless they stay well out of each other's way. I have often suggested to fiddlers to cover harp parts and harpists to cover fiddle parts. To be honest, I think it was Johnm who I first heard suggest it, either in a post here, maybe 10 years ago, or in one of the guitar/fiddle duet classes that he and Suzy Thompson used to teach up at PT, where Suzy might have covered a harp part once. The fiddle really has the ability to produce a breath-like quality, which you utilize well. Nothin' crazy about that. How 'bout "wise. old. man." Wax
