Rosin by Bob Smakula

Rosin is made from the sap of pine trees. Live trees are wounded, and the sap is collected for processing. The larch conifer is used most often for violin rosin, but only a small portion of all collected pine sap finds it way to the musical world.

Most rosin in its basic form is similar. Manufacturers add compounds to tweak rosin for particular fiddlers’ needs. Dark rosin has tar added to make it softer, which makes the rosin stickier and suitable for colder climates. A small amount of beeswax is sometimes added to help lessen the harmonic squeak caused by

‘Fall On My Knees’ – Clawhammer Banjo Tab + Lyrics

Clawhammer Banjo CoverMore than forty years ago I wrote my first banjo book, Clawhammer Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus. About five years ago I decided it was time for a follow up, so I started working on it. Recently we received delivery of the new book – Clawhammer Banjo ~ Tunes, Tips & Jamming. To make it easy to use, the new book has coil binding and contains 44 tunes not included in the Ignoramus. I’ve also loaded it with playing and jamming tips as well as information to help people join jams and improvise plus almost 200 vintage photos

Katie Dear

Katie Dear

Oh Katie dear go ask your mother,
If you can be a bride of mine.
If she says yes, come back and tell me,
If she says no, we’ll run away.

Oh Willie dear I cannot ask her,
She’s in her room taking a rest.
And by her side is a silver dagger,
To slay the man that I love best.

Oh Katie dear go ask your father,
If you can be a bride of mine.
If he says yes come back and tell me,
If he says no, we’ll run away,

Oh Willie dear I cannot ask

Cotton-Eyed Joe

Cotton-Eyed Joe

Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago
Daddy worked a man called Cotton-Eyed Joe

Where did you come from,
Where did you go?
Where did you come from
Cotton Eyed-Joe

Cornstalk fiddle and a shoe string bow
Couldn’t play nothin’ but Cotton-Eyed Joe

Woulda been married a long time ago
Hadn’t a been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

Chicken in the bread pan peckin’ out dough
Grannie will your dog bite, no child no!

Eighteen feet of sleet and snow,
The roof caved in on Cotton-Eyed Joe.

‘I Am a Pilgrim’ and the Magic Numbers

By Wayne Erbsen

Merle-TravisOne of my favorite gospel songs of all time is I Am a Pilgrim. I first heard it back in the early 60s when I was listening closely to Doc Watson, who sang it and picked it on the guitar. Doc freely admitted that he learned it from the great Merle Travis, so I always assumed Travis composed it. Digging a little deeper, I found that it was recorded by 14 African-American singers before it was even a gleam in Travis’ eye.

I’m not surprised that I Am a Pilgrim has roots in African-American music. The

Buying an Inexpensive (But Not Cheap) Mandolin

By Wayne Erbsen

Mandolins come in many flavors, several styles, and many price ranges. I’ll pass on to you the same advice someone gave me about 50 years ago. Spend as much as you can stretch, and purchase a quality instrument, rather than a piece of junk. A really cheap mandolin will sound tinny, which will discourage you just as you’re learning this new instrument.

rover-smallrover---km-162-smallerThat said, it doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune on your first mandolin.

For starters, there are several mandolins that we sell and recommend.

The Rover RM-35S with a retail price of $169.95.

Sittin’ on Top of the World

Sittin’ on Top of the World

Was in the spring one sunny day,
My sweetheart left me, she’s gone away.

Chorus:
And now she’s gone and I don’t worry,
Because I’m sittin’ on top of the world.

She called me up from down in El Paso,
Said come back, daddy, Lord I need you so. (Chorus)

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,
Show me a woman a man can trust. (Chorus)

Mississippi River is deep and wide,
The woman I’m loving is on the other side. (Chorus)

If you don’t like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree,
Get

Figuring Out Chords at the Shindig on the Green

By Wayne Erbsen

Shindig. To people in western North Carolina where I live, “Shindig” is short for Shindig on the Green, which is an outdoor bluegrass music festival held on the courthouse steps in Asheville, North Carolina. The Shindig is a unique summer festival, drawing regional bluegrass and old-time musicians who just want to get together to pick and socialize and strut their musical stuff on stage. For the musicians, it’s not a paid gig, just a big music party with a large audience. Only the house band, The Stoney Creek Boys, get paid.

On Labor Day, I attended the

“Shortenin’ Bread” Ukulele Tab + Lyrics

“Shortenin’ Bread” has certainly wins a prize for longevity. After all, it has been around for over 150 years. This version of “Shortenin’ Bread” comes from my new book, Ukulele for the Complete Ignoramus!

I can’t tell you why, but I find playing Shortenin’ Bread almost addictive. When I start to play it, I can barely force myself to stop. I must not be alone because this song has been popular since the early to mid 1800’s. The song was first collected and published in 1915, and was known as a ‘plantation song.’ All this talk about shortenin’ bread
