Fly By Night String Band - Cumberland Gap

This is the very unusual crooked 2-part version in D, recorded by the Fly By Night String Band on their LP (Fretless 146). According to the notes on this album, they learned it from the Possum Trot String Band. Further explanation was provided in an old usenet post by Heath Curdts of the Possum Trot String Band: "While the Fly By Night String Band did learn the "Cumberland Gap" on their LP from the Possums, it wasn't from our Swallow LP; they learned it in person when we were playing in New York City as part of our 1980 coast-to-coast "bread truck" tour. The "Cumberland Gap" on our LP is a different tune altogether, Don Minnerly's take on Marion Reece's great version. Our source for the "Cumberland Gap" in question was Evo Bluestein, whose dad, Gene, recorded it in the 1950's on a trip to Kentucky. It was played on the banjo by 70-something-year-old Fiddlin' Bill Wilson. Mr. Wilson had an unusual up-picking style, and Gene changed the tune considerably when he adapted it for frailing. Evo turned his dad's version into a fiddle tune and taught it to Don Minnerly and me at Sweet's Mill in 1976 or so." -Video Upload powered by https://www.TunesToTube.com
