Tunes 9/3/19



What a great first session of the year! We sound like where we left off last spring. The recordings are nice. I encourage you to listen to and download what you like. "Hanged Man's Reel" (and a few others) rocked!

"Richmond" is a very cool, fun tune. It's in A major and A modal, it's crooked, it has a high C#, and it could make a person who plays it the life of the party! Here is my take on the chords:

:  A      A      E      E A
    A      G    A E      A  :

:   A       A      A D D     A   (1 extra beat)
    A       G    A E      A  :

Thanks for being there, and see you next Tuesday.

Our last session was a blast! Thanks to all you who made Tuesday evenings so special this year!!
I will be sending out another email that will have attached a list of the tunes that were recorded this season and a list of links for them.

For now, enjoy this last recording. It is sweet! Also enjoy Jonah's new song.

Cheers, and I hope to see and play tunes with you this summer!

Tumes 5/14/19

Another fun evening, and I know I'll miss these weekly musical get-togethers! This Tuesday is our last session of the season. Don't forget Weiser! Some of us will be in Stickerville by the 11th, and I hope to see you there. If you've never been, you really should give it a try!

cheers, and thanks for all the great music!

Tunes 5/7/19


Thanks for a fun session! There are some nice recordings here, and I look forward to our last 2 sessions of the season at Pengilly's. Summer is almost here and it's beginning to feel like festival season!

Tunes 4/30/19

Great session, thanks everyone! A reminder that TONIGHT is the last FIRST FRIDAY SQUARE DANCE of the season. Join us if you can, and bring friends. Musicians are invited to sit in as the "Hillbilly Auxiliary Band" -- to play along with the square-dance band.

See you tonight,

Dave



Tunes 4/2/19



Thanks for another fun evening of old-time fiddle tunes and songs (mostly tunes...) The recordings are sounding good -- good enough, I hope, that you can learn tunes from. Last session of this school year is May 21. Seven more, so don't miss out!

see you Tuesday,

dave

Tunes 3/26/19

What a musical March! St. Pat's Day, Treefort, old-time sessions at Pengilly's and Irish sessions at O'Michael's. Enjoy these recordings, and keep playing!
