RE: [Harp-L] Old-Time Harmonica
Jim,
Bruce was the source for this great tune. I myself learned it from the
fine banjo player and producer Henry Sapoznik. We often do it as a banjo
and harp duet with our band the Brooklyn Corn Dodgers. I'd lover to
hear your version!

Hi Trip
That "Five Miles of Ellum Wood" is a fine tune. I learned it off a tape
of
the great fiddler Bruce Greene where he mentions in the notes having
heard
it first on banjo in Kentucky, and later on fiddle by someone in West
Virginia. Is that version you play one that you picked up in WV?
Cheers,
Jim

Here's a link to my MY SPACE site where on the tune "Five Miles of
Ellum
Wood" I duet with an old time fiddler. You'll hear what I'm talking
about.

I've been playing for 30 years and I started with old time while I was
living in West Virginia.
