Buddy Thomas   Da Slockit Light (by Tom Anderson D)   

 

  Doney (Brad Leftwich AEAE)  Lost Indian (Ed Haley AEAC#)      In my efforts to transcribe tunes from recordings, I've gotten a lot of help from a program called Amazing Slow Downer, which allows me to slow a recorded tune to any speed without changing its pitch; to loop a few bars of a tune; or to adjust the pitch.

Vi Wickam Some old-time fiddlers 'keep a full fiddle,' using drones almost constantly; others (my preference) use them more selectively for emphasis.

The fiddle, which was the most favored instru­ ment for this class of tunes, was brought to Shaking Down the Acorns (Bruce Molsky D)  Tommy Jarrell     This style of fiddling makes liberal use of drone strings; usually I haven't tried to notate the drones.
