Dusty Strings Jam, 2014/03/09

Despite it being the start of Daylight Saving Time, pretty much everyone showed up on time today. Which reminds me, I need to set the clock on my digital recorder; it still thinks it’s an hour ago. Here’s what we played:

• St Anne’s Reel (D)
• Old Joe Clark (A mix)
• Red Haired Boy (A mix)
• Tune of the Month: Old John Tate, aka Land of Lincoln (Dm)
• Little Rabbit, Where’s Your Mama? (D)
• Moonlight (D)
• Prettiest Girl In The County (G)
• Lost Indian (D)
• Red Haired Boy (A mix)
• Midnight On The Water (D)
• Buffalo Gals (D)
• Cold Frosty Morning (A dor)
• Eva’s Polka (Am)
• A Rose For Polly, by Tommy Hunter (G mix?)
• Brandon Waltz (D)
  On Voyager’s Repertoire Builder VRCD109 — named after Brandon, Manitoba.
• Pig Ankle Rag (D)
• “The minor version of Blackberry Blossom” (Gm)
  This sounds to my ear like a variation of Garfield’s Blackberry Blossom, from Ed Haley.
• Swallowtail Jig (Em)
• Whiskey Before Breakfast (D)
• Spotted Pony (D)
• Campbell’s Farewell to Red Gap (A mix)
  This has three parts; I think Campbell’s Farewell to Redcastle only has the first two.

• Come Home With The Girls In The Morning (D dor)
• Sandy Boys (A mix)
• Emma(‘s Waltz) (Dm)
