In his Old-Time Fiddle course on Peghead Nation, Bruce Molsky teaches a version of the fiddle tune “Dusty Miller” that comes from Mississippi fiddler John Alexander Brown and is quite different from the more well-known versions. It’s in GDGD tuning with a minor feeling and some modified pitches (slightly sharped Bb and F notes.)
