Elk River Blues

Here's a little bit of Elk River Blues in G...the fiddle is in G "Sawmill," a.k.a. GDGD. I meant to do a different recording of this one, just not thrilled with what I have here, but time just hurries by and there seems to be less and less opportunities to sit down and play...so...I decided to go ahead with this one. I had done. In the recording I had knocked my bow into my coffee cup toward the end, which messed things up, but I decided what the heck...leave it and go on...but then for whatever reason, the iMovie cut the very last note...just flat-out cut it short. So I re imported into the movie about six times and finally got frustrated enough to learn a new thing: how to fade out with the audio...so I tried that and if the end sounds funky like the way they squirmed their way outta 50s popular hits...yeah, I'm sorta doing the same thing here because the note just cut out all of a sudden is very bothersome, more bothersome than the 50s style of fading out of a song instead of figuring another way out...lol. So it's kinda strange. Also had trouble getting the photos in the order I'd wanted...but it's just a conglomeration of morning walks we've taken with our little dogs. Some day I might learn how to do this...lol...but for now...the best I can get. The story goes that Elk River Blues was composed by WV fiddler, Ernie Carpenter...in the spirit of lamenting over his home and community, soon to be destroyed for creation of a lake in the area.

Really? Are we on the same wavelength these days, Dale? I hope I get to hear you play it sometime soon! And thanks for listenin' to me fumble through it. Have a great day, Dale.
