Looks like "Fisher's Hornpipe" and "Old Joe Clark" have been contender's before but never won.

[Martin Jonas]

Fisher's Hornpipe was the June 2004 tune.

[picksnbits]

So it was.

Maybe we could do Sally Goodin or Red Haired Boy, then. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Mike Buesseler]

Cronin's Hornpipe. Irish, natch, and it sort of just rolls off your fingers. If you only knew one Irish tune, this would be a good one. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[daikon]

I second Typsy Gypsy.

[Mark Seale]

How about Jerusalem Ridge? Interesting key and a cool twist in the last part.

[MandoJimbo]

If that's too easy, how about Irish Washerwoman?

[Mark Normand]

[mandolooter]

Star of the County Down...hey I actually know that song! What a deal that would be...:)

This month we're learning: "Paddy on the Turnpike", eh?http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

[picksnbits]

Think so, but no one has started a thread for discussing it yet.

[Slim Pickins]

I like Wheel Hoss

[Bluegrasstjej]

How is everyone doing with Paddy on the turnpike? I've listened to some recordings and the tef files and it seems just impossible, I don't get the "theme" of the tune. Since i can't showw off any recording anyway, i'll wait to next month. I'm still offline, at the library now. Hope to be back soon.

Hugs to all
Susanne

[Nora]

I'm still new and just saw this thread. Do you guys(gals) do this every month?-Groovy-
Please show me where do I find the music, tab, song, i.e. and I will try, too.

Thanks,

Nora

Nora, the place they are talking about is here: http://www.mandozine.com/music/tabledit_search.php You'll need to download another program called the TEF Viewer, I think. I've got it and it is a very good program to help with learning other mando songs.

Welcome aboard. You are gonna love it here. I do.:laugh: http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[Mutiny]

cool. I love playing paddy on the turnpike. Not to many tunes are written in Gm. probably cause of the akward stretches.
I'll get something recorded on my octave mandolin.

[Martin Jonas]

Nora -- the web site posted by csstanley is where you can find the TEF files, but everything else about the project is here. (http://mandolinproject.150m.com) This is where you'll find the MP3s from previous months' recordings (there aren't any for this month yet -- maybe people aren't inspired by Paddy, or else they are all beavering away trying to get that note-perfect Monroe copy) as well as instructions for uploading.
