Five Miles from Town

Key of D. Two parts. Very unusual structure for an old time tune.  Fiddlers can tune up the G string to an A.

• Clyde Davenport [mp3 on Slippery Hill, non-video on Utoob]. 

• Mt. Airy jam [utoob] 10 minutes of fun.

• It must be fun to jam with Bruce Molsky [utoob] at Tiki Parlor.

• Pete Sutherland is joined by Brad Kolodner [utoob] live on stage.

• Excellent music in the living room [utoob] with great fiddle moves by Kristen Harris.

• Instructional video for solo fiddle [utoob] calls this Five Miles to Town.

• Lauren Rioux on viola [utoob]. Medley warning! Jump to 1:57. 

• Claude Martin [photo retrospective on utoob].

• Marth McDonnell [utoob] video is called Files Miles to Town.

• Echo Mountain [utoob] in the classroom.

• Easy to watch the banjo fingering [utoob] on this promo for Ozark Mt. Banjo Co.

Tune structure

Written with multiple time signatures [pdf] but I think of it like this:

Not to be confused with...

• "Five Miles to Town" is a different tune. John Sharp [mp3 at Slippery Hill]. 

• "Five Miles from Town" is a different tune. Everett & Danny Kays [Berea].

• "Five Miles of Ellum Wood" is a different tune. Clifftop 2016 [utoob].
