Dusty Strings Jam, 2014/09/14

Sarah was out sick this month, so we had a kind of informal jam with me nominally hosting. It was a gorgeous day out, so thanks to everyone who came down to the basement to jam! Here’s what we played:

• Little Rabbit, Where’s Your Mama (D)
• Soldier’s Joy (D)
• Midnight on the Water (D)
• Liberty (D)
• Fisher’s Hornpipe (D)
• Heel Fly (D)
• Over the Waterfall (D)
• Peter Kiefer’s (waltz) (D)
• Whiskey Before Breakfast (D)
• Bill Cheatham (A)
• Boil ‘Em Cabbage Down (A)
• Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (D)
• Cluck Old Hen (A dor)
• Shady Grove (A dor)
• Will the Circle Be Unbroken (G)*
• Little Birdie (G)*
• Old Joe Clark (A)
• Ragtime Annie (D/G)
• Angeline the Baker (D)
• Wind That Shakes The Barley (D)
• Red Haired Boy (A)
• Red Wing (G)
• Tennessee Waltz (D)
• Pretty Little Dog (Am)
• They Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dawg Around (G)*
• Jambalaya (on the Bayou) (C)*

Turns out most of the tunes I can think of on the spot are in D. Huh. I should probably work on that. Asterisks in the list above indicate songs that were sung — I think this is a great development, and we should have more singing in general, even though it kind of terrifies me personally to sing.
