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! |
