F#C#F#C# cross tuning

While I haven't learned a new tune in a couple of years (it's enough remembering the 400 or so I'm supposed to know how to start). Over Labor Day weekend, I tried to catch the tune "Fox and Hounds" presented in a jam by Jason Loux. I found Ben McKay's recording and slowed it down to 85% of recorded speed (the tempo was way too fast in my opinion, though played very well). I recorded it playing over an 85% speed of the recording of Jimmie Revard & His Oklahoma Playboys. Here's where I got the original recording. https://workupload.com/file/d7AxhGFhygM Info on the group https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/jimmie-revard-and-his-oklahoma-playboys

FCFA tuning

This is a backup track I plan to use to do recording of Maysville with my fiddle cross-tuned FCFA...when I get the time for it. Hopefully all will go well with it and I'll get a youtube up. Until then...anyone who feels like fooling around with this...here it is. I think I got the timing and chord progression better this time than when i was messin' with it in C tuning. Might be kinda hard to follow, but this tune just rambles all over the place...lol...if we miss that we miss its charm...but how to get that/??? Ain't easy.
