Old-Time Tune of the Month for October 2014: Puncheon on the Floor

Here’s a great tune from the playing of Esker Hutchins of Dobson, North Carolina, about 10 miles from Mt. Airy, home to fiddle legend Tommy Jarrell. Ray Alden recorded Esker Hutchins in 1972 and you can hear him play this tune on Ray’s 1982 album Visits, produced on the Heritage label in 1982.
