Very systematic breakdown of flatfooting, Ira Bernstein style. Works up to the four sound walking step towards the end.

From this Ira Bernstein youtube channel

And here's a performance with Riley Baugus.

Short but sweet clip that shows the bowing on this tune pretty clearly.

More complete track on Powell's time again album

Got this from Kenny Baker. Not sure about the original source. Lyman Enloe has a pretty similar version.

Annadeene Fraley guitar and Doug Chaffin Bass.

Interesting variant that's pretty different from the typical "Angeline The Baker". Source is Charlie Higgins

Nice twin fiddle arrangement from the Shoats at a house concert. Not sure if an original tune or what. The whole playlist is a good listen.

Outstanding flatfooting from Nic Gareiss! Not sure if this version of speed the plow is old time or irish. Anyway, good stuff.
