The B part to Kitchen Girl is one of the parts in Hobart's Transformation, pretty much.

I'm currently on Cranberry Rock that I got from Jimmy Triplett. Cool, VERY crooked C tune. Been learning it on fiddle and just tried it today on mando and it's every bit as cool.

I'm learning "Sligo Creek." Find it on YouTube, the version with the red-haired girl on fiddle and the dude on accordian.

I thought Hobart's Transformation only had 2 parts? From the fiddler's fakebook, it's just got an A and B part.

But yea, the B parts of each tune are almost identical. I like to play an f natural in the B part of Hobart's to set them apart. YMMV.

I also just started working on Chinquapin Hunting. Great tune.

Great tunes Woodwizard. Is that last tune similar to the Skillet Lickers "Liberty off the corn licker still"?

Paddy on the Turnpike
Blue Jig

I'm about to start working on Angeline the Baker. I want to make a medley of Whisky Before Breakfast, St Anne's Reel and Angeline the Baker. St Anne's Reel has been a finger-buster for me.

SAR can be made reEl purty by sub-ing a Bm in the B part. There's a Chris Thile version I am always working on, where he gets this flurry of triplets in the last 4 measures - it ain't easy.

My new (old) tune: Dysentary Stomp, which I always come back to. The combination of dark (first part) and light (2nd part) makes for a humdinger of a tune.

SAR? You mean Stan's Reel (as they call it in Canada) ?

I was lucky enough to sit in on a mandolin workshop with Matt Flinner when he came through a little over a week ago, and he introduced me to [Cold] Frosty Morning. So that's what I've been playing lately. Nice tune, and getting to be topical pretty soon, I'll bet.

cheers,

David

Yes... same tune Gary by the Skillet Lickers...I just said the tune title wrong. Been working on this one with our fiddle player who knows it quite well. Thanks

[QUOTE=sgarrity;724372]Let's hunt some buffalo.....

Great tune. Seems like you don't have to work on it, you got it down.

I hadn't heard before. This is the "Hunting the Buffalo" I am familiar with.

sgarrity · 10-21-2009, 02:36 PM

Is that from Clyde Curley's recording? They are very similar. the version I learned is just a little more simple and raw, if you will. I learned it from the Old Time Barn Dance recording from Cracker Barrel. Mike Compton on mandolin and David Grier on guitar. It's a great instrumental recording if you can find it. Thanks for the kind words!

Yes. I love that album.

Playing them back to back I can see they are similar.

That's a great! tune that I'm going to have to learn. Good picking Shaun and awesome mp3 ...thanks

Finally took the time to listen to Squirrel Heads and Gravy, after hearing so many of you learning that one. I'm hooked, and will have to learn it.

I know Pig Ankle. After the initial rush of learning it, after a few weeks, I couldn't bear playing it, unless our ensemble treated it more as a jazz tune than a traditional tune, because it doesn't seem to have any pushes in it to keep it going in a natural fashion.

I finally have Rights of Man down pat. There's a controversial note in the B part. All the books show it as a D. But my own favorite recorded version shows it as a a definite and very strong sounding E-flat. When I play the tune in my band, the two sight readers do it as a D, and we had a whining scuffle when I insisted they try it as an E-flat. They didn't like it, say it sounds too classical. After tryingit over two different rehearsals, they are starting to warm up to the E flat.

Also took Jeff's recommendation and learned Wild Rose of the Mountain note-for-note perfect. What a gorgeous tune. The B part reaches across three and a half octaves, and some of the lines end with a 2 bar rest, which sounds very nice when filled with tremolo. Got to love it when played together with Kitchen Girl.

Starting in on Cherokee Shuffle again, after dropping it for a few weeks. I originally learned it as a slower waltz in G, and now I'm having a devil of a time moving it to A and speeding it up. Also starting Paddy on the Turnpike.
