Wild Man In The Forest, after Lee Hammons(1883-1980), Pocahontas County, West Virginia
Dwight Diller taught me to play the fiddle, and he held Lee Hammons's fiddling in the highest regard, above all others. Thankfully, Dwight recorded Lee fiddling and playing banjo in the late 1960s and early 1970s when Lee was almost 90 years old. This is my attempt at playing Lee's version of Wild Man In The Forest.

I learned this from a recording of Lee Hammons playing, with guidance from my dear friend and mentor Dwight Diller, both of Pocahontas County, West Virginia. #LeeHammons #DwightDiller #Diller #Fiddle #OldTime #Appalachian #WestVirginia #Virginia #Kentucky #Tennessee #NorthCarolina #CrossTuning

This is my Scottish wife's favourite tune, so I took a crack at it. I wasn't able to shed my Appalachian / West Virginia accent.

I originally learned this tune as a banjo tune from my dear friend and mentor Dwight Diller of Pocohontas County, West Virginia. My great great grandfather, John Hooks Lendrum, was present on the occasion of the historical event memorialized by this tune. Henry Reed (b. 1884 in Monroe County, West Virginia) learned the tune ‘Santa Anna’s Retreat’ from Quince Dillon, who was a fifer in the Mexic...

I learned this tune (and the associated song) from my dear departed teacher, mentor, friend, and Christian brother Dwight Diller of Pocahontas County, West Virginia. The song itself is about losing someone you love, and losing them in the worst possible way (the beloved Angeline, an enslaved woman, is sold off to a new master, away from her lover, also enslaved, who is singing the song). Dwight...

    this one also.. there is something extraordinary in hearing a tune come through from the past without it essentially being changed in character, without modernisation, without needing to add to it or take away from it, just letting it be..

      Thank you, Catherine. That is a great compliment, coming from you. I believe my playing has continued to improve substantially since I recorded this. I hope you're well! My wife and I are in Scotland as I write this, visiting family, and coincidentally visiting the Culloden Battlefield tomorrow, which I'm told has a connection to this tune!

    So weird, right at the same time you were posting this, I was finishing up a run along the Bow River and did something I don't usually do, which was climb down to a boulder right at the river's edge and sit there in the sun soaking up the whole energy of the river. Glad you like the song...have you heard the CD version? The whole CD, Will White - Rise Above, is on iTunes. Give me your address and I'll send you the CD. Will

    Hi newfielad47, sorry I didn't reply sooner. The guitar is an old Yamaha, one of the few things my ex-wife let me keep when we split up in the early 90s! Sounds pretty good for a $200 guitar! A few months after I recorded this video though I got my Collings which is my main guitar now, and on all my most recent videos. Can't remember what kind of strings I had on the Yamaha when I recorded this one. No, I don't play for a living, thank God, 'cause I like to eat!

  • @whprwill
    @whprwill 16 років тому

    The song is played out of the Am position. I think when I recorded this I had it capo'd at the 5th fret, which puts the song in Dm. Sometimes I also capo up to the 7th fret (Em). Guitar is in standard tuning. Thanks for the comment!

  • @newfielad47
    @newfielad47 16 років тому

    watch 4:02 his facial expression changes as if he's sinking deeper in the song . Great playing great voice. Ive watched this about a dozen times I love it. Im trying to figure the fret of the capo 5-6 and are you tuned down or up thanks
