For all songs that have two or more flats in the key signature, we included a second version in a more string friendly key in the back of the book. Therefore, some of the songs are in flat keys that might be too challenging for the younger string player. The choice of keys was determined by our desire to make this book compatible with the woodwind and brass books. These sites also have Civil War era music: / and /folk.Mix and match with other string, woodwind and brass editions of "Thirty Famous Patriotic Duets" to create mixed ensembles of different instruments. ![]() I guess the trick is finding which ones were actually popular. There are also the banjo tutors from that era, and most of the tunes in collections like Ryan's would have existed then. ![]() Last year I needed a couple of vaguely Texas tunes for a theater show, and played it in a medley with "Texas Quickstep." After one show somebody said "I know that second tune was 'Liberty,' but what was the first one?" I don't know what that entry from the session is based on. He also learned some of his music from black field hands too. I've never been able to find any mention of "Liberty" prior to the Bob Wills recording, but I think he might have said it came from his father. I think I tracked down that John Carson recording, and its in G, a similar tune to the one the Skillet Lickers recorded. I believe that I have the tune in a hand written song book of fiddle tunes from a Revolutionary War soldier. Of course this does not give a firm time frame for the tunes origin but it suggests that it pre date the CW. Any notes on the history would be great, I'll see what I can dig up. I think my banjo player learned it off "Strictly Instrumental," an old Columbia LP by Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt. My understanding is that it is very old, in one form or another, as I know a slightly different B part. ![]() We play this tune in the bluegrass band, and I know a lot of people throughout the Southeastern US (specifically the Blue Ridge mountains) who know it as part of the standard American fiddler's repertoire. This is the American civil war tune,"Liberty". It's a great tune, just hadn't added it to the list.
