Glory in the Meeting House

I recorded this old tune on my CD Contented Must Be a while back, but it’s never stopped being one of my all-time favorites! This recording was done for Peghead Nation, where I teach the nuts and bolts of old time fiddling. A new and wonderful on-line service - if you’d like to try it out, go to pegheadnation.com/string-school/courses/old-time-fiddle/ and enter the code “Bruce” for a free month trial.

Whoop! Whoop! Yah Glory! 🤩🤪

Yay!! Can't love this enough! One of my favorite and you just laid back on that fiddle, nice and easy and loped along. Just beautiful to listen to. And thanks to the videographer who didn't try to do gymnastics with the camera.... well, until toward the end anyway... Made the performance easy to watch without the distraction of an ever moving, dizzying motion that most videographers attempt. That's my pet peeve with most of these group music videos. Most videographers are flitting around like a barn yard fly. Find a spot and land on it so we can enjoy the music and not have it ruined by someone trying to turn it into a Hollywood production. Thank you all around. Fantastic!

I wanna play like Bruce Molsky....sigh.....

This is great, Bruce. Love your varied bowing and rhythmic play throughout the piece. I'm working this one out on the banjo with help from your arrangement here.

Great playing. Some people say Monroe and Baker used it as basis for Jerusalem Ridge.

Great tune with great fiddling. Just looking for this tune & your video came up. Thanks for sharing. Btw, is this a traditional tune? It sounds like it would be. Thanks bunches

[@randommonacur2151]

Yes, tune is suspected to have emerged somewhere in the Kentucky hill country in the late 1800s.

Why aren't there more tunes in E?
