Synopsis

You’ve played Over the Waterfall, marched along to with Soldier’s Joy and perhaps even found your fortune while trotting along on that Old Spotted Pony. Now, it’s time to take your next steps Beyond the waterfall to the land of lesser played tunes. Inside this volume are 40 challenging, unusual, interesting and, dare I say, extraordinary tunes written out both in standard notation and clawhammer banjo tablature along with suggested chords and fiddle bowing making this book suitable for anyone wanting to learn these melodies. There are even a number of old-time songs with all of their lyrics so you can sing these great songs in the old-time way. In addition, most of the tunes include historic notes and references to recordings so you can hear how these tunes were played and sung “way back when.” I encourage you to take the time to do that. It may jump start your stalled old-time music collection or, as some folks say, "start you a new one".
