"Shelvin' Rock" is a title used for a number of tunes (related or not).<br> The various versions are played in various keys.<br> It was collected from a number of players including Henry Reed by Alan Jabbour,<br> Adam Smitley (an elderly fiddler from Fayette County, Pa.) by Samuel Bayard,<br> Ernie Carpenter, Edden Hammons and Burl Hammons (this version).<br> This version was recorded by Burl Hammons on Old Time Music of Pocahontas<br> County (1995) and Orpheus Supertones on Bound To Have A Little Fun! (2004).<br> The banjo tab is from John Letscher who credits the Orpheus Supertones as his<br> source. The tune is crooked, having eight measures in one part and six<br> measures in the other part. Burl Hammons played the six measure part first<br> followed by the eight measure part. John reverses the order.<br>
