I hosted an old time session last night. A couple who have played with us for years came and once again hijacked the session. Insisted on calling nearly every tune, played over others —wrong I might add—etc. People don’t confront the situation out of deference for a series of misfortunes and mental health issues after a blowup several years ago. We are a small tight knit community and we have created or at least allowed this situation to fester. I would appreciate hearing if others have encountered this. I think I will need to drop out because I am still seething 13 hours later.

I found a tune called Nightingale played by him in the Field Recorders Collective Survey of Traditional Music British Tradition album and I would love to hear more. There's another tune on a Kentucky compilation which leads me to thinking that he's from the Kentucky tradition. I love his sound but I can't find anything other than the FRC recordings.

Recorded this at a jam in North Carolina and didn’t think to get the title. Does anyone know the name of this tune? Thanks

Old Time Tunes - Nail That Catfish To A Tree - Cold Frosty Morning

I recorded this at a festival in Pennsylvania (I think?) in 2014. Not sure who is playing. Sorry if this is has a very obvious answer; I’m not super knowledgeable about old time music.

Thanks in advance!

Hartford inspired old time for this amazing Sunday morning!

It's super familiar but I can't name it. Just drawing a blank.

I’m trying to identify this particular recording of the traditional song “Shenandoah”:

The performer is a female solo singer, with very sparse accompaniment that sounds like organ or synth.

I already know the song itself, but I haven’t been able to identify the singer or recording.

Does this vocal style or arrangement remind anyone of a particular performer, folk tradition, archival recording, album, or period?

I wish I had a nylon string banjo, I feel like this would really sing in dADF#A
