Shaking Down the Acorns

This is A modal tune which means it has a G chord. The banjo can play in A modal tuning. There are A and B parts. Some folks play it square, as in two of each, but most folks play A three times.

• Roger Netherton on fiddle: "Shaking Down the Acorns" (Clifftop 2014) [utoob]

• The Kathy Kallick Band [utoob] on stage

• Patrick McAvinue & Russ Carson [utoob] bedroom video

• Adam Hurt, banjo [utoob non-video]

• Three young guys who are very good [utoob, right].

• The great Dwight Diller solo fiddle outside [utoob] or inside [utoob], not in A.

• Instructional solo banjo [utoob] not in A.

• Hot Seats, video of a studio session [utoob].

• Handy instructional video of solo banjo [utoob].

Not to be confused with...

• Chinquapin Hunting. That means looking for acorns [OTF].

• Hogs Picking up Acorns. That comes after you shake them down.

• Shuckin the Bush [utoob]. See the Fiddlin' Early White CD for a great version. Shuckin is an unlikely way to find acorns.

• Rattle Down the Acorns [Iron Leg Stringband on utoob]. Ok, even I'm confused.
