The Story Of Me And My Posse

Who's Ready To Jam?!

Posted in Music

I don't hear any cheering? Oh, where did everyone go? Here you come! You were running to get your fiddles out! I'm glad you are excited!!! I am too!

When I was at Granny and Gramps' house, we put together a song list that we thought most of you would know. (or at least be able to figure them out!) If we learned it at fiddle camp with Erin, I will put a * beside it. Ready to get started? Now I hear you!

                       Song                                                                               Key                           Difficulty

Rubber Dolly (With varitions if you know them)  *                            D                                  Easy

Tennesee waltz *                                                                                    D                                  Easy

Faded Love  *                                                                                           G                            In between

Soldiers Joy*                                                                                            D                          Two variations

Chinese Break down *                                                                           D                                A bit harder  

St. Anne's Reel                                                                                         D                                 More difficult

Boil them Cabbage Down *                    I think it changes, but you know how it goes!            Easy

Amazing Grace         I forget what key, but do you J's or Fehlers do it in a certain key already?

I want ot teach you a song I learned first hand from Gord Stobbe too, called SACHA. It has a dance for the younger kids. :)

If you have any other fiddle camp faves, post them in a comment. (like pelican reel-whiskey before breakfast etc...)

That doesn't sound too hard right? Granny and Gramps are practicing them too, that is why I changed the key of Faded Love, to make it easier for Gramps to sing. (I originally learned it in D, I don't know about the rest of you)

We are all going to Auntie Jess' the weekend of the 3rd of October, so practice really hard until then, so we can all play together! Then just imagine how awesome christmas will be when we add G and G to our band!! Oh, ya, I forgot, practice between the 3rd and Chrstmas too!
