The song of the week is 'Homestead On The Farm' (a.k.a. 'I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home') in the key of A. Bluegrass History and Recordings Homestead On The Farm was recorded by the Carter Family in 1929, but in bluegrass circles, this song tends to be more closely associated with Mac Wiseman, who first recorded the song more than 20 years after the Carters. On the points where Mac Wiseman's arrangement differs from the Carter Family's arrangement of the song (chord progression, melody, etc.), bluegrass players have tended to follow Mac. Mac Wiseman played guitar and sang harmony on Flatt and Scruggs' Mercury Sessions recording of 'We'll Meet Again Sweetheart', which was one of the very first records Flatt and Scruggs made together after they left Bill Monroe's band. And, in the role of lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Mac Wiseman was Lester Flatt's immediate successor in Bill Monroe's band. Mac, for instance, is the lead singer on the original 1949 Bill Monroe recording of the popular bluegrass standard 'Can't You Hear Me Calling'. Here are two of Mac's recordings, and one live performance, of Homestead On The Farm: key of Bb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6uxNzkH1Vc key of A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBzQXXDC6w4 key of A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82_0ui4taWI Jam Videos Jason’s YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com) Progression & Arrangement Verse: 1411 1144 4411 2255 Chorus: 1411 1144 4411 2511 In the key of G: 2=A. In the key of A: 2=B. In the key of Bb: 2=C. A typical jam arrangement of the song is: Intro break - played over the chorus progression, (so that the intro break sounds resolved) Verse 1 Chorus Break - played over the verse progression Break - played over the chorus progression (by a different instrument than the one that played the immediately preceding break) Verse 2 Chorus Break - played over the verse progression Chorus If more breaks are needed than this, another break over the verse progression followed by another break over the chorus progression may be inserted right before Verse 2, and/or another break over the chorus progression followed by another break over the verse progression may be inserted right before the final chorus. Song List 16 songs were played at last night's jam: 12 from the main list, 2 from the additional songs list, and 2 that are on neither list: Angel Band - A Canaan's Land - F Cry, Cry Darlin' - G Homestead On The Farm - A Little Liza Jane - D Long Journey Home - A Mountain Dew - D Reuben - D Sweetheart You Done Me Wrong - G Turkey In The Straw - G Wildwood Flower - G Worried Man Blues - C Beautiful Brown Eyes - G Columbus Stockade Blues - G Red Wing - G Will The Circle Be Unbroken - G Happy Pickin', Jason Files: Homestead On The Farm - Banjo tab Download File Homestead On The Farm - Guitar tab Download File Homestead On The Farm - Mandolin tab Download File Homestead On The Farm - Melody in A Download File Hi everyone,
