Train on the Island

Key of A or G. Fiddle cross tunes AEAE or GDGD.

• Old time rendition [Utoob], campsite video of John Schomburg on fiddle

• Kitchen recording [Utoob], harmony fiddles & vocals, very clear

• Classically trained fiddler solo [Utoob] Ben Russell house concert

• Fretless gourd banjo tuned gDADD [Utoob]

• Our favorite version is by The New Ballard's Branch Bogtrotters. We have their out-of-print CD, "The Galax Way." They have some other tracks on myspace and facebok.

• We have it on the Big Hoedown CD with Bruce Molsky and Rafe Stefanini on fiddles, Beverly Smith guitar. [amazon] This is a dreadfully slow version and it medleys to another tune. 

• Old: J.P. Nestor [mp3 player at The Bristol Sessions]
