Beschreibung
The Round Peak area of Surry County, North Carolina consists of a number of
small communities which border Mt. Airy, NC. The Round Peak musical style is
synonymous with the old time music pairing of the fiddle with the
African-derived banjo and was considered to be the defining ensemble sound
for community dance music as played by the holy trinity of the Round Peak
banjo masters: Kyle Creed, Fred Cockerham, and Tommy Jarrell. As most of the
Round Peak repertoire is played in the traditional fiddle keys of D Major and
A Major, they are the keys that are used in the arrangements of some of the
traditional Appalachian fiddle tunes that form its living tradition. Includes
a lengthy instructional introduction. Songs are presented in banjo tab.
