Does anybody have an MP3 or whatever they could send me on this tune? I have the TAB but would love to hear Jerry play it, or anyone else for that matter.
Thanks,
Mike |

| I think I "MIGHT" have a copy of it. If it is the one I'm thinking of, it's really a poor qaulity recording since someone apparently recorded Jerry's instrumentals out of a daily radio show or whatever. There's nothing else, no vocals, just a long series of instrumentals of poor quality. I believe these are from the days of WJR-Radio, Detroit. I'll see what I can find. Check back with me in a week or so if I fail to get back to you. I tend to lose track of things here in my olde age. |

Hi Mike,
Black and White Rag is a great tune. As a former fiddler I'd like to make a plug for checking the "Fiddler's Fakebook" (Centerstream). The notated version of B&W Rag therein is pretty close to the way most fiddlers play the straight melody--and it is a fiddle tune.
I figured out how to play it on the reso in standard high-bass G tuning (aka Dobro tuning) by reading the FFB version. It was quite a challenge for me, but I got it.
Asleep at the Wheel has recorded a nice version of this tune which included some creative soloing on fiddle, piano and non-pedal steel.
Good luck.

| Thanks for cluing me in. I'd forgotten it was on record, no less. |
