Re: What's your new fiddle tune?
o.k. I'll contribute. . .
I got this crazy idea that I can learn standard notation. I figured if I know the key and the scale, then it's just follow the bouncing ball and the stems/dots and such.
So, I got some standard notation of fiddle tunes and took a wack on a few tunes I play, just to get the feel. (Just for reference I do sing in the church choir.) Well, from the tunes that I know I got some variation in the music I was reading so all was moving forward nicely.
During my page flipping, I saw a tune, "Dead Slave." Well, I figured there's a tune nobody would call in a jam and a tune I never heard. So I took a go on it.
I think I got it worked up! I mean it really came together! Just not sure I can call it in a jam. It seems somehow a tune that's past it's shelf life. Then again, there may be some backststory. . .
f-d
