The Greasy String Band has played for contra dances in Tallahassee, Gainesville, and at the Florida Folk Festival (FFF) for years. The band's playing is depicted by driving dance tunes, smooth fiddle playing by Jane Scott and upbeat clawhammer playing by Gordon Scott. Gordon has won numerous ribbons at the annual banjo contest at the FFF playing on the main stage. Jane has won ribbons at the Florida State Fiddlers contest as well. The two band members work together at Gordon's String Music. Jane and Gordon recorded a CD with many of the dance tunes they play regularly called "Old Time Duets". Come on by the store at 1903 N. Monroe Street in Tallahassee and pick a tune with them sometime.
