At about 0:36 there is a short bit of a song that sounds like Greasy Coat, but the fine part is quite different. Is it just another version or a different song?

[@seannewman8949]

That first tune is Greasy String

[@jamespeterson5188]

Thanks!

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

First tune is also called Turkey Buzzard in places.
