Clyde Davenport


This is a three part field recording I made with legendary Kentucky fiddler Clyde Davenport in 2008.

J.W. Green Music Files

These files represent a field recording that Mr. Green and I made together in November of 2009.

He is using a fiddle he made circa 1982 and I am using a Martin D-18. We are sitting at his kitchen table jamming as we have for the past three years on a Thursday evening with his wife Dorothy looking on.

My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean


Well not really, she actually lies over the state line in Alabama.

This is an old Scottish song and the photo of my eldest grand daughter.

El Shaddai means God is almighty and one of several names or God in the Old Testament used by the Jewish/Hebrew nation of Israel.

I am using an Eastman oval hole mandolin, a John Arnold 12 fret dreadnought guitar, and a J.W. Green fiddle for this Christmas classic.
