This is a great site for finding the history of some of the old fiddle tunes we often hear.  How many folks know what the Pig's Foot this tune is talking about is?

When I started learning this tune, I listened to a lot of fiddle players on youtube play it. There was a different version for every player it seemed. What made it in to the video I posted here was just a big casserole of ideas from those players. There were some things I wish my hands could do like the fiddlers, but that ain't gonna happen *lol*.

You're absolutely right, Jan. We all end up in the same place at the end!

Thanks for giving it a listen.

I like this!  The A part is a bit different from what I learned--it's more intricate and I have a feeling that what I play is a more relaxed or, perhaps, lazy version.  That said, we all end up in the same place at the end!  I think I'll work on learning this more difficult version, though!

Thanks for the kind words Robin.  

It’s a lot of fun to play and even more fun to explain exactly what a pigs foot is to my 8 year old daughter.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

Such great play of this fun-to-play old tune!
