Does anyone have the history on this tune? Know how old/new it might be? I have a recording of the Fury’s playing it. I don’t find it here on the Session, but did find sheet music elsewhere. more…

9 years later--yes there is a definite similarity. Been singing I’ll tell Me Ma for a long time, and just started picking up on Black-eyed Susie. It took me two minutes to figure out why the latter seemed so dang familiar. more…

You folks sound like a bunch of Baptists at a Bible meeting. Just play the tune and have fun however you know how to do it. I simply wish I could play it. Whether a slide or a jig, it’s my favorite even if oinked out by a pig. more…
