Tune Wishlist

I’ve had my copy of The Fiddler’s Fakebook since 1989, at least. I hadn’t opened it much in the last 20 years, but when I started playing again I noticed that I’d made marks in the index of the book. I don’t remember if these were tunes I’d already learned, tunes I liked and wanted to learn, tunes that were played at a particular session, or what. But I’d kind of like to work my way through them and find out.

These are the names of the tunes ~15 year old me marked in his copy of the Fiddler’s Fakebook:

• Back Step Cindy
• Barbara’s Fancy
• Black Mountain Rag
• Bonaparte’s Retreat
• Breaking Up Christmas
• The Bride’s a Bonnie Thing
• Camp Chase
• Cluckin’ Hen
• Cluck Old Hen
• Double File
• Drunken Hiccups
• Ducks on the Millpond (1)
• Falls of Richmond
• Going Down the River
• Great Big Taters in Sandy Land
• Hanged Man’s Reel
• Jenny Lynn
• Midnight on the Water
• Old Mother Flanagan
• Roustabout
• Sally Ann (B)
• Say Old Man Can You Play The Fiddle
• Shooting Creek
• Sugar Hill

If I knew those tunes before, for the most part I don’t now. I could probably play three of them, and I recognize a few more but doubt I could name them if you played them for me. So between these and the “Fiddle Hell” list, I’ve got a pretty solid list of tunes I’d like to learn.
