The Tony Eyers Trio have recorded Winder Slide, an Old Timey tune by Joe
LeRose. You can see it at http://youtu.be/FoDojDfFg6w
Old Timey has elements of bluegrass and Irish, at a more gentle pace..
Like bluegrass, it comes largely from southern USA, with similar
instruments. Like Irish music, players repeat the melodies over and
over, without solos. Old Timey tunes are simple, however the style is
deceptively hard to get.
While the tune sounds old, it is not. We've drawn upon Rayna Gellert's
recording, attempting to emulate an old time fiddle style with two
harmonicas.
Not sure how close we got to it. Let us know.
