| What luck I had this year. The first night at Clifftop, I met up with some folks from Pennsylvania at a super jam in G. Glen Carson, Barb Schmid, Todd Clewell, and some unidentified folks in the shadows - thanks for these really nice tunes!

| Down The River _G |
| Eadle Alley _G Lots of Melvin Wine tunes around the jams this year. More likely, I've started to pay more attention to where tunes came from. |
| Jaybird Died of the Whooping Cough _G |
| Pennsylvania Paddy on the Turnpike _G |
| Bullfrog on a Puncheon Floor _G Last one here from the jam with the Pennsylvanians |
| Poor Old Napper _G from Harvey Sampson. I want to try to learn this in cross G one of these days. I'm playing it in standard here. My festival friend, Barbara Taylor, buddy Bill, buddy Richard, good tune-sters Steve and Pete from Ithaca, and Danny Birnbaum on bass, if my memory is serving me right. |
| Moon Behind the Hill _G I heard this at Lake Genero last year and still like it a bunch. What fun to play it with this batch of folks who jumped right on it. Oh, yeah, and it's another tune from Melvin Wine. |
| Paddy Won't You Drink Some Cider _D Under Marge and Tony's tent |
| Possum's Tail Is Bare _D Ahah! The source is Melvin Wine, and it's got words. |
| Florida Blues Ambrose Verdibello and Buz Lloyd play some "old time rock and roll" |
| Tippy Get Your Hair Cut _G (GDad) A walk on the wild side. Give this tuning a try sometime. Just drop your high E. It gives a sweet high drone. |
| Violet's D Waltz _D I still have not found the real name for this waltz. I learned it from Violet Hensley at Merlefest this year. |
| Lil Gal Fool Ya _D Credits and coaching up front on the recording. ie, 3 B parts. Gosh I could play this tune all week! |
