I got this tune from "Meet Me In The Music" by Erin Marshall & Chris Coole. Erin describes how she learned this old tune from a fiddler in West Virginia. She says it is an old song related to Shady Grove. She also wrote that the fiddler sang the following lyrics: I'll take my knapsack on my back and a gun upon my shoulder I'll march away to New Orleans to a foreign better country Where silver grows on sycamore sprouts and the river flows good brandy And the hillsides they're all covered with cakes but the gals is as sweet as candy Fiddle tuning: GDAE Author: kitsilanogal Keywords: Fiddle West Virginia Old-Time Beginner Added: May 11, 2008

Meet Gary and Roberta Gordon. Influenced by the great music of their era, this husband and wife duo were baptized by bluegrass music and have made wonderful folk music ever since. Accompanied by Gary's tasteful Gallagher guitar and dobro, Roberta plays the American born Appalachian autoharp. With many recordings to their credit since 1976 , harmony singing is their signature. The Gordons have been bringing their music to audiences since the 1970's, when they began touring throughout the Midwest, playing clubs, fairs, festivals and colleges. Their band featured guitar, banjo, fiddle and upright bass with Gary on lead guitar, dobro and vocals and Roberta Gordon singing and playing the autoharp. During this time The Gordons recorded two albums, both of which received national radio airplay. Just as The Gordons had built a solid fan base through the Midwest, they amassed a sizable following in the Carolinas throughout the 1980s, playing festivals and fairs as well as making two acclaimed performances at the Mint Museum in Charlotte. By the late 1980s, they were working again in the midwest, and played a $150.00 per ticket show in Chicago at the Swiss Grand Hotel. In 1989, they recorded with dobro great Josh Graves and bluegrass fiddler Kenny Baker, from Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys. The resulting album, Old Time Radio Show, and live concert at Cincinnati's celebrated Old Time Music Hall were considered triumphs by critic and fan alike. The Gordons kicked off the 90s by releasing Wasn't Born To Follow, which also featured fiddle great Wade Ray. In 1995 they released Family Bible, and their unique sound began to receive national and international recognition. Bluegrass Unlimited commented, "With Family Bible, The Gordons have created an exhilirating gospel package capable of drawing widespread attention." And widespread attention it did receive. Radio recognition was swift, and the single "Dust On The Bible" was praised in Europe as well as the U.S. And the consensus was concurrent: As Dave Higgs of WPLN's Bluegrass Breakdown show Nashville,Tennessee said: "I'll be spreading The Gospel According To The Gordon's here in Nashville." European acceptance of Family Bible added to the thrill of The Gordon's 1996 tour in Ireland, where they performed live in Dublin on R.T.E., Ireland's national television network. They additionally played on live radio and at several hotels. The Gordons were hosted by the Irish Bluegrass Music Club who have invited them back for a second tour. On hearing End of a Long Hard Day, Richard Gladney, of the Irish Bluegrass Music Club said: "Rest easy, Mr. Monroe. Your music is in good hands." In the spring of 1997, together with Reception Records, The Gordons released End of A Long Hard Day. "With their warm, glowing vocal harmonies and impeccably clean and uncluttered picking, the Gordons bring to mind that most listenable of all bluegrass bands, the great Flatt & Scruggs. And, like Flatt & Scruggs, the Gordons are wide-ranging in their song selection. Above all these qualities, however, is the fidelity with which the group conjures up memories of a sweet rural world now long vanished." -Edward Morris Journalist and Former Country Music Editor Billboard Magazine In the following years, The Gordons returned to Ireland three times, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands, where they took part in the first ever European World of Bluegrass Festival Series held at venues throughout Holland under the auspieces of the International Bluegrass Music Association. During this time they also released Summervilla - Home in the Heart, from Reception Records, recorded live in the historic anti-bellium mansion Summervilla located on the Cape Fear River in Eastern North Carolina. On the heels of the Summervilla album came The Gordons - Live in Holland from the Dutch label Strictly Country Records, featuring Gary and Roberta returning to their duet roots, using only guitar, autoharp, dobro, and voice. In 2002, they released "Time Will Tell Our Story", featuring first-rate help from the likes of Alison Brown (banjo) and fiddle from Robert Bowlin, whose musical partner Wil Maring also plays upright bass. Yet again, it was critically praised -- Bluegrass Unlimited stated that it was "one of the strongest spiritual releases of the year". While they took time off from the road to focus on Gary Gordon's new recording studio, Inside-Out, they did not stop writing songs and recording, and the result is the latest release, in 2007, "Our Time". With the new release, Gary and Roberta will now head back out on the road to play as a duo once again.

While Secretary Rice sneaked into Kirkuk Baghdad yesterday in an effort to bolster positive surge outcomes in Iraq, the White House shoved President Bush in front of a bank of microphones Monday to make a whitewashing pitch for the condition of the economy. The administration wants to shine up the nation’s image prior to the holiday break in order to keep the over the turkey conversations focused on football and not the price of home heating oil, the lack of affordable healthcare, illegal aliens driving down wages while driving up cost for local municipalities, foreclosure notices waiting in the mail box with a looming recession ready to greet America early in the first quarter of 08.

1HR:21Min: 22Sec. Teen-ager Betty Elliott (Marcia Mae Jones) has decided to take over the business and social affairs of her father Doc Elliott (Charles D. Brown). She thinks her father should marry the widowed mother, Julie Harper (Leatrice Joy), of her boyfriend Chris Harper (Jackie Moran). Doc has been a real friend and father to Chris, who, under his guidance, has learned to take care of all the sick animals in town, but lack of money keeps the widow from sending Chris on to finish high school and medical training is out of the question. Wealthy Grandpa Harper (George Cleveland) sends his attorney Baker (Theodore von Eltz) to tell Mrs. Harper that all of Jimmy's dreams could be realized if the widow, whom the grandfather dislikes, would give up custody of her son. The lawyer also begins to court Julie and this throws a kink in Betty's plans to see her father and the widow get married.

Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan and Olivia de Havilland star in this lofty western about the Cavalry officers responsible for capturing abolitionist John Brown. As a penalty for fighting fellow classmates days before graduating from West Point, J.E.B. Stuart, George Armstrong Custer and four friends are given a dangerous assignment. They're being sent to Fort Leavenworth (a.k.a bloody Kansas territory ), where abolitionist John Brown and his posse of sharp-shooting crusaders have camped out. These well-schooled Calvary officers will play a drawn-out game of cat-and-mouse with Brown's brigade -- but the battle at Harper's Ferry is sure to be John Brown's last.

Mary Beth Hughes and Charles Russell A psychic predicts that a sultry young blonde will meet with tragedy on a train...A handsome young man murders his wife, then takes refuge in a sleepy small town...A young boy witnesses the murder but keeps it a secret... The blonde, the young man, and the boy all wind up in the same boarding house, sharing close quarters, and trying to cover-up their unsettling secrets. Plot turns and twists ensue, building to a shattering, unexpected climax. Superior, low-budget 'film noir,' quietly but steadily gripping the viewer with unusually subtle characterizations and solid acting. Amazingly adult for its time. The ravishing Mary Beth Hughes and the charismatic Charles Russell strike palpable erotic sparks. And the relationship between Russell and the young lad who witnessed his crime but hero-worships him all the same has implicit homoerotic undertones that must have eluded the napping censors.
