West Virginia fiddler Burl Hammons is the source for the fiddle tune “Big Sciota” that has become a jam session favorite in bluegrass circles. His version of “Big Scioty”, however, is much more syncopated and illustrates the constant improvising that most old-time fiddlers engage in. Each A part is different from every other A part and the same is true of his B parts.

The quirky D tune “Sullivan’s Hollow” comes from Freeny’s Barn Dance Band, one of the great Mississippi string bands recorded in the early 1930s. There’s a nice, contemporary version by Rayna Gellert, fiddler in the string band Uncle Earl.
