Hi James,

Sure - if I get the chance I'll do a video.  But there is a sound recording and some very short footage of Nettie herself playing at the start and end of this video here:

Thanks for sharing this Robin, much appreciated.  I do have a request - could you do some sort of video of this so I could physically see what is going on?

Thanks Paul - I was copying the style of Nettie Presnell.  She would play with a wood strummer and used C,c,c tuning, arranging all her favourite tunes, both major and minor, to fit the mixolidian scale and strumming pattern she liked to use.  Ralf Lee Smith though that she was one of the best of the Appalachian players, as she epitomised the unique timbre of the region's music.
