The Institute of Musical Traditions (IMT) is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that depends on donations from listeners and viewers like you! You can support at paypal.me/imtfolk or learn more at www.imtfolk.org!
"Shove the Pigs Foot a Little Farther in the Fire", performed by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason (www.jayandmolly.com) with Bruce Molsky. In concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org) Concert, Silver Spring, MD, USA on February 28th, 2011.
Jay Ungar & Molly Mason achieved international acclaim when their performance of Jay's composition, Ashokan Farewell, became the musical hallmark of Ken Burns' The Civil War on PBS. The soundtrack won a Grammy and Ashokan Farewell was nominated for an Emmy. The piece was originally inspired by Jay & Molly's Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps in New York's Catskill Mountains, which are still going strong today.
Jay and Molly are musicians of enormous talent who draw their repertoire and inspiration from a wide range of American musical styles-19th-century classics, lively Appalachian, Cajun, and Celtic Fiddle tunes, and favorites from the golden age of country and swing-along with their own songs, Fiddle tunes, and orchestral compositions.
As always, we gratefully thank the Maryland State Arts Council (www.msac.org), the Montgomery County Arts & Humanities Council (www.creativemoco.com), and all our other donors, supporters, and volunteers.
Sound: Art Isaacs, Ben Majchrzak, Dave Eisner, Dave Richardson

Well done! Very tasteful fiddlin' and I, being a guitar player, was delighted to hear Molly's outstanding accompaniment. She should be teaching that style, fiddlers all over the world would be so grateful. Guitar players, take note, it's an art in itself. Cheers, from Nova Scotia, Canada where fiddlin' like this rings still through the highlands of beautiful Cape Breton Isle. Glen Parker

To me, it sounds very much like modern Irish guitar accompaniment (Irish "traditional" guitar not really being a thing until the last 50 years or so). Her take is quite personalized, though, or so it sounds to me.

@@TheDanielDaugherty As an Irish fiddler, I would definitely have to disagree. That's got some of what you're talking about a but it's still got all of the walking baselines and rhythmic patterns of traditional old-time accompaniment. Personally, I don't care for accompaniment in Irish trad, but I really appreciate a good old-time or bluegrass guitarist.

A great tune and version, but I don't think Molsky wrote it. He puts much work on learning from the old fiddlers; In this case it is Marcus Martin, NC ( CD/download at fieldrecorder.org , and I think an earlier version is on a Southern Folklife CD too.

just to note that the "pig's foot" in the title refers to a blacksmith's implement used to hold a workpiece which is being heated in the forge ... nothing to do with animal abuse ... or barbecues even ....

John Hartford named the song "Shove that Pig's Foot Further in the Bed", explaining that said pig was purloined, and a lawman was coming up the road. The pig was hidden under the covers of the perp's wife's sickbed. Creative fellow, John.

Inspite of the comments made at the beginning of the video about this being a literal Pig's foot the real meaning behind the song has nothing to do with the animal's (pig''s boot) but is the following: A ‘pig’s foot’ is a blacksmith’s tool that somewhat resembles a crowbar or poker, used to manipulate pieces of pig iron in a forge. The tune was originally recorded by western North Carolina fiddler Martin Marcus on an LP where he played it as a duet with his son Wayne.

Traditional tune. There is some debate on its origins. Some sources say it's originally an Irish tune, others that it is from the north of England. Hard to say what are its actual origins.

It is actually thought to be about iron working in a forge, pushing the pig (iron) further in to get it hotter. There now, that's iron rations. How are you with that?
