Fiddlin’ John Carson

Rural Roots of Bluegrass

By Wayne Erbsen

It wasn’t the popcorn in the New York’s Palace Theater that spring day of 1923 that got Atlanta businessman Polk Brockman thinking. Instead, it was the newsreel he watched of a Virginia fiddler’s convention that made him scribble this note on a piece of paper: “Record Fiddlin’ John Carson.” Seconds before he had reached in his pocket for his pen and something to write on, Brockman recalled why he came to New York on this most recent trip.

As the owner of a number of furniture stores in the Atlanta area, Brockman also sold what were then

Dark Hollow

Dark Hollow

I’d rather be in some dark hollow,
Where the sun don’t ever shine.
Than to be all alone and knowin’ that you’re gone,
It would cause me to lose my mind.

Chorus:
So blow your whistle freight train,
Take me far on down the track.
I’m goin’ away, I’m leaving today,
I’m goin’ but I ain’t comin’ back.

I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine.
Than to be in some big city,
In a small room with her on my mind. (Chorus)

Instruction on how to play this song can be found

Muley’s Daughter

Clawhammer banjo for the complete ignoramus cover

Muley’s Daugher

by Wayne Erbsen © 1974

Gain’ down to the spring
Fetch a pail of water
Goin’ to old Muley’s house
Gonna marry his daughter
Gonna marry his daughter

Throw a stone out in the pond
Let the ripples show
When I find that girl of mine
Some flowers we will sow, love,
Flowers we will sow

Take my love by the hand
To the mountain far
Lay there on a summer’s night
Countin’ all the stars, love,
Countin’ all the stars

Way up on the mountain there
Gonna build a house so fine
Look down over the valley

New River Train

Clawhammer banjo for the complete ignoramus cover

New River Train

I’m riding on the New River train
I’m riding on the New River train
It’s the same old train that brought me here
And it’s soon gonna carry me away

Darling you can’t love one (2X)
You can’t love one and have any fun
Oh Darling you can’t love one

Darling, you can’t love two (2X)
You can’t love two and still be true
Darling you can’t love two

Darling, you can’t love three (2X)
You can’t love three and still love me
Darling you can’t love three

Darling you can’t love four (2X)
You can’t love

Secrets of Playing Fiddle by Ear

By Wayne Erbsen

Practically every fiddle player dreams of being able to play by ear. What does playing by ear mean? It means playing without reading music.

To play by ear, you need to know a little bit about three things: 1) Simple scales, 2) Chords, 3) Walk-ups and Walk-downs.

1) Simple scales. This is the “do re mi” you learned as a kid. In the key of G, it’s do=G, re=A, mi=B, fa=C, so=D, la=E, ti=F#, do=G. As you can see, you start with G and go right up the alphabet – G, A, B, C, D, E, F#,

Barbara SwellI baked you a pie. Come into my cabin kitchen for a slice and a chat by the wood cookstove.

My West Virginia grandmother, Maudie, taught me to make pies and biscuits and to garden, can, and hang my laundry to dry in the fresh mountain air. Standing elbow-to-elbow at her big white enameled drainboard sided sink is where I learned how to cut a sugar cookie, what seeds to plant, how to get (and keep) a man, and that rum doesn’t count as alcohol if it’s drenching your fruit cake.

When I was 21, I moved into what would

Drifting Too Far From the Shore

Charles E. Moody was not your average gospel songwriter. He alone wrote both the words and the melody of two of the bedrock classics of country and bluegrass gospel, “Kneel at the Cross” and “Drifting Too Far From the Shore.” To get a handle on this man and the songs he wrote, let’s go back to Moody’s beginnings in rural Georgia.

One of eight children, Moody was born in a log cabin on October 8, 1891, near Tifton, Georgia. In this rural farming community, music was a favorite pastime, and as a young man Moody learned to play the harmonica

Fiddlin’ Arthur Smith

Rural Roots of Bluegrass

By Wayne Erbsen

Thunderstruck. What better word to use to describe the reaction of fans of old-time fiddle music when they first tuned into the Grand Ole Opry and heard the fiddling of Arthur Smith coming out of their radios? From the time Smith first stepped up to the WMS  microphone in December 1927, the world of southern fiddling would never be the same again. Who was this man that set fiddling so much on its ear?

Born April 10th, 1898, near Bold Springs, Tennessee, Arthur Smith got his first fiddle when his young wife, Nettie, sold enough chickens to
