    This is a song I learned recently, an old time standard called Tipping Back the Corn. It was written by Jordan Wankoff of Chicago, Il. I have also posted this on the Fall Practice Challenge page as well.

    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…

        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?

            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.

              I’m working on Hangman’s Reel, Bonaparte’s Retreat, Cumberland Gap, and other old time tunes.

                  I just printed off the sheet music for Cumberland Gap and listened to it. It’s fast! Smiling – too fast for me, but I’m gonna pick away at it and become more familiar.

                  Thanks Marg! Now, after practicing what Jocelyn taught me for a few weeks, I cringe when I watch that video and see how stiff my bowing is!! I think I have improved some since then.

                  I have to say, I’ve practiced what Jocelyn told me in her video for a couple of hours now, and boy what a difference it’s already making! Making changes to your established bad habits is hard but with the correct observations of Jocelyn, you have it pinpointed and that makes it easier to incorporate the corrections into your technique.
