My group took second place at a old time fiddlers convention with this song last week. I'd never heard it before we practiced it.

This is my grandfather , my dad was his oldest child and played banjo with him sadly I don't think we have any recording of them together.

Gerry Milnes - Folk Arts Coordinator for the Augusta Heritage Center, Elkins, WV Gerry has been instrumental in preserving the music of many WV old-time musicians, giving them exposure to the public, as well as playing fiddle and banjo himself. He brought Melvin Wine and Ernie Carpenter down to Mt. Airy in the mid-80's which was a thrill for me.

I've heard so many good things said about Melvin Wine, but I haven't had the opportunity to hear his music until now, so thank you for uploading these great videos. I haven't heard this tune before either; sounds to me like a varient of the 'eighth of January'/'Battle of new orleans'. The phrasing and articulation are sublime!

You're welcome! Melvin is playing in D major and I think he is either in standard tuning or he has the G string raised to A. (High bass)
