Re: Song snatches in Old Time tune sessions
I've thrown a sung verse into appropriate fiddle tunes at various jam sessions, but not used it at the beginning to "establish" the tune or its melody.
E.g., the 27th time through Soldier's Joy I may borrow the Skillet Lickers'
Rock the cradle, Lucy, rock the cradle by,
Rock the cradle, Lucy, don't let the baby die
Always good to avoid infant death at an old-time session.
