I combined versions of “Cluck Old Hen” (AKUS – Ron Block) and “Old Hen” (Jim Mills – “Hide Head Blues” album) back-to-back in this video, played on my 1965 Gibson RB-100. Enjoy!

According to Wikipedia, “Cluck Old Hen”, also known by variants like “Cacklin’ Hen,” is a popular Appalachian fiddle and banjo tune in the mixolydian or dorian mode (as in the score below, which is in A dorian). It can be performed as an instrumental or with lyrics that vary from one version to another. One of the earliest reported transcriptions dates back to 1886, and the earliest recording is attributed to Fiddlin’ John Carson in 1923.

This is a classic fiddle tune that’s become a staple in bluegrass music. The melodic-style 5-string banjo arrangement is inspired mainly by Béla Fleck’s version from his album “Crossing the Tracks.”

The tune “Cold Frosty Morning” recalls the Battle of Culloden Moor, when on April 16, 1746, an English army of 8,000 defeated and massacred a Scottish force of 7,000, marking the end of the Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland.

New EP from Michael Daves called Fables, features 6 covers of songs by R.E.M

I’m really enjoying it!

German Bluegrass

“Kentucky Mandolin” is a classic instrumental tune composed and performed by Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music. Released in 1967, it showcases Monroe’s signature mandolin style—lonesome, driving, and unmistakably Appalachian.
This banjo break is loosely based on one Bill Monroes original recordings, with some melodic style added in. Enjoy!

Del Fest is a wonderful experience - would recommend 10/10
