John adds a drone string to much of the melody of the B part of “Little Liza Jane,” and the first phrase begins with a clawhammer-style rhythm. John walks you through it phrase by phrase and then shows you how to find the melody of the A part an octave up the neck.

John learned the key-of-A fiddle tune “Laughing Boy” from Greg Spatz, the fiddler in John’s band the Jaybirds, whose version is similar to Kenny Baker’s version. There are also great versions by Texas fiddler Benny Thomason and Bruce Molsky.
