Dusty Strings Jam, 2014/02/09

Posted on Posted in Dusty Strings Jam

Sarah was unable to make it up to the jam, due to snow and illness, so mostly who showed up today were people who didn’t get her cancellation email or facebook note. I got it, but I had to go to Dusty Strings for some gear anyway, so I figured I might as well stick around and see if anyone else would show up. I forgot my recorder, so this month’s list of tunes is what I can decipher from my chicken scratchings:

  • Soldier’s Joy (D)
  • Angeline the Baker (D)
  • Possum’s Tail is Bare (D)
  • Over the Waterfall (D)
  • Spotted Pony (D)
  • Moon and Seven Stars (D)
  • Midnight on the Water (D)
  • Pig Ankle Rag (D)
  • Tam Lin (Davey Arthur) (Am)
  • Old Joe Clark (A Mix)
  • Red Haired Boy (A Mix)
  • Star of the County Down (Am)
  • Buffalo Gals  (D)
  • The Girl I Left Behind Me (G)
  • Seneca Square Dance (G)
  • Barlow Knife (G)
  • Opera Reel (D)
  • Leather Britches (G)
  • Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (D)
  • Bonaparte’s Retreat (Bill Stepp) (D)
  • Cherokee Shuffle (A)
  • Goin’ to Granite (?)
  • Whiskey Before Breakfast (D)

I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten one or two in there, but that’s what I have written down. I think there might have been some Ragtime Annie in there, for example.
