How many here are interested in old time?

  I have to admit that I don’t really know the difference! I just googled so now I have a dictionary definition, but I sure couldn’t listen to a tune and know which one it is. Would you mind sharing a couple good Old Time tunes that you like?

    Hi Elise, well the difference between the two is very big, although they both have similar roots. A couple of my favorite old time tunes are Hangman’s Reel and Shove That Pigs Foot a Little Further into the Fire (quite a title, right?) Here is a link to a You Tube video that will explain the differeces way better than I can in this short space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qNgkuTlapw&t=773s
    Enjoy!

  I enjoy listening to bluegrass, but enjoy playing old-time.

  I prefer Old-Time, but have to learn bluegrass so I can participate in local jams. Locally, I have not found much in the Old-time style. I am in the Knoxville, TN area. If anyone else is in this are and interested in getting together to play, let me know.
