Need a Little Fiddle?

I think Old Joe Clark was the first fiddle tune I taught a beginner class when I was a student teacher.  I taught it by rote and in unison.  The mixolydian flavor is so juicy and fun for beginners.  So, when I was looking for a fiddle tune to add to my concert this is the one I went to.
I needed it to reinforce G string notes, include both high 2 (F#) and low 2 (C natural), and be pretty simple for students.  I couldn't find an arrangement that fit my needs so I made one myself.  Please let me know how your students like it!  So far I've gotten, "This actually sounds pretty good already!"
