The Piedmont String Sawyers

Sawing Through a Few Good Pieces

Before Radio and television, in the time when entertainment was very limited, this music played a major role in the lives of people all up and down the Appalachian Mountains and the Piemont. This old-time music continues to be a social music, mostly played at home with good friends, but also played for local dances and gatherings. It has that old-time rhythm that makes you want to move your feet. Here are some of the same tunes play by generations handed down through the years. The musician are Marshall Goers, Joshua Johnson, Nancy Hamilton and Briggs Hamilton.

The tunes are: Granny Went to Meeting with Her Old Shoes On, Liberty, Boll Weevil, Black Bottom Strutt, Pumpkintown Stomp, My Gal's a Corker, Jenny Lend Polka, Mississippi Sawyer, Take this Hammer, Susanana Gal, Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine, Molly put the Kettle On, Rock the Cradle Joe, Cold Frosty Morn, Girl I Left Behind Me, Grandfather's Clock, Turkey in the Straw, Wind that Shakes the Barley, Clarence and Geneview Waltz..
