Another tune that Ace first learned from his dad, but is now played quite differently than the original version
A Byron Berline tune
From Major Franklin
From Vernon Soloman
An old tune that's been "souped up"
Learned from Norman Soloman in 1957
A Canadian waltz learned from Texan Bill Gilbert
AKA Ookpik Waltz
When Ace learned this from his father it was called "Hell Among the Yearlings", the title changing about fifteen years ago to avoid confusion with the other "Yearlings" fiddle tune popular in the Southeast
Ace thinks of Lew Berline when he plays this
