This is my first TOTW, and I don't have a very deep knowledge of the repertoire yet, so I went with a tune that came up at a jam session over the summer and seemed well-received. It's much newer than a lot of the tunes that show up here, but I think it's a nice one to bring into the repertoire.
From what I can tell, Chips and Sauce was written by Ira Bernstein (wikipedia), which means it had to have been written later than 1959. There's a reference to the tune in this old thread on BHO and I found another on the fiddle hangout. Both of those threads indicate that the tune enjoyed a brief popularity at jams few years ago way up here in the Pacific Northwest. The tune seems to have been popularized by the fiddler Earl White (see his band's facebook page). He has a recording that includes the tune, too. You can buy their cd or just the track by itself.
There's another recording by a PNW trio, the Onlies, who also recorded the tune for their 2015 album, Long Before Light. At the jam session where I first heard the tune, the fiddler who introduced it to us credited the Onlies for bringing it to his attention. There are also a pair of YouTube videos featuring this tune - I think it's roughly the same group of young musicians in both videos. They are here and here.
You can find a banjo tab on Tater Joes's website, which also credits Ira Bernstein as the source. The tab has the tune in A, gDGBD capoed at the 2nd fret.
I would love to post a recording, but I've been busy this week and head to Boston for work next week. If I get a chance when I get home, I may try to learn it (have to leave double D tuning behind for a while!).
Hope you all enjoy the tune! Cheers!
