Tunes played in February, 2014

Another great turnout this month! I believe we had three fiddles, three banjos, two ukeleles, a mandolin, a bass, and five guitars this time — we’re starting to really fill the room. These are the tunes we played:

In D:

  • Angeline the Baker
  • Western Country (Fly Around, My Pretty Little Miss)
  • Soldier’s Joy
  • Over The Waterfall
  • Old Jack Gillie
  • Moon and Seven Stars (jig)
  • Spotted Pony
  • Needle Case
  • Whiskey Before Breakfast

In A:

  • Old Joe Clark
  • Johny Cope
  • Cripple Creek
  • Oh! Susanna
  • Bill Cheatham
  • Red Haired Boy
  • Sandy Boys
  • Pig Ankle Rag

Thanks to everyone who came and played! I’ll get these tunes added to the spreadsheet tonight, and try to figure out a good way to get the info on the spreadsheet back onto the site in a easy-to-read format.

Also, I’ve been putting together a tunebook containing sheet music and (usually) chords for some of the tunes that get played here. It also has some tunes that I just like and want to learn, so it’s not entirely representative of the jam tunes, but it does have a bunch of them. I’ll be writing some scripts to organize the tunes into separate books for the Slower Than Dirt and Dusty Strings jams, as well as one combined book for myself, automatically making PDF versions, but for now it’s just the raw ABC notation — you can find it on GitHub if you’re interested.
