My new fiddle tune is Ebenezer. I learned it from this YouTube fiddle version. The name of the player is not shown, but it's very clean and easy to hear. I put it into Loop mode, and slowed it...

Thank you, Peter Coronado, I found the YouTube link, so can slow this down. I'll see if I can learn it from the Peter Ostroushko recording, depending on what key he's playing it in. Two keys,...

Thanks, Ranald and Bren, for writing back. According to Brian Oberlin, the mandolinist and leader of the Michigan Mandolin Orchestra, it was a reel first, and then arranged for orchestra. There are...

I heard a beautiful rendition of this fiddle tune played by the Michigan Mandolin Orchestra. But I can't find a fiddle or mandolin version of it. Seems it's been taken over by orchestras. Anyone...

Cool! A great tune for a yankee1! We support the Constitution!

Thanks, David Greenspoon. Depends on what one considers inexpensive. It looks like $70 to me. That's too expensive. I'd pay $20 or $25 maybe. I tried a link BoxCarJoe sent me, and created a nice...

Hello Iflngpicker, do you have a link where I can buy the G-Dec Jr. Amp? Can I get a foot pedal that goes with it, too?

Thanks for posting this information about the G-Dec Jr. Amps. Why do you...

Okay. See if this works! Thanks for asking!

Here I am, playing Constitution March with the drumbeats created by BoxCarJoe! I even posted Andy's research on my YouTube version, thanks to Jim Garber.

Hello, Jim Garber, wowee! Your friend Andy certainly did a tremendous amount of research about the origins of Constitution March aka many other names! Thanks! I'll post this at my YouTube channel,...

Hi BoxCarJoe. Thanks so much for the longer drum set. I'm excited to try to fit this together with Consitution March and put it into YouTube. I'll give you credit for the drums.

I just did an Amazon search for The Box-Car Children. There are a whole bunch of books with this title that are mysteries. Wow. I'd like to read those. But here is the original, the one I read in...

Hi again, BoxCarJoe. No hurry at all. Thanks so much. Your name reminds me of a book I read as a child -- "The Box Car Children." Did you ever read it? It's very exciting about some children who...

Hi BoxCarJoe. This is amazing! Thank you. The drum beat is exactly the right length to play Constitution March one time through. But then it quit playing after I played with it three or four...

Steve in Tampa, I'd still have to buy a mike and an amp. But that's definitely a good idea.

Dear Friends, I only wanted the drum machine for one tune, and all these suggestions, while you're very nice to send them, are too expensive for me and complicated. I guess I'll just have to make...

This rendition of Constitution March has a great drum beat behind it. It has so much syncopation that the drum beat adds tons to the way this tune sounds.

The notation in D is not at all like the mandolin version in the link I sent. I love the Constitution March, but I gather from the discussion that Norman Blake is not the composer, and that nobody...

Thank you everyone, especially rcc56 who sent Constitution March in D. It's early morning now where I am so I'll have to try it later. I've been playing it successfully with the YouTube version I...

This is the version I'm learning from. It's in D. Does anyone have notation in D? The G notation posted by Mike Black above doesn't fit this version.

I've been told about three other online jam sites. Supposedly one does not need special equipment to jam at at least some of these. Has anyone tried these?

NimJam
Jamulus (live jamming,...

So far, all the potential jam sites people have looked into are all very quirky, so I have a new plan/format for my musician friends. I'm hosting a weekly talent show for my old band members and a...

Thanks! I'll check out this tab. It's also on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOWT3Fs6Z4&ab_channel=JohnKelly without a capo. It's in Am here.

I see you capoed up to the fifth fret. What key do you finger this in? It's a beautiful tune and I would love to learn it. The link says, "with tab," but I don't see a tab.

My new fiddle tune is Cora Dye. I found the notation from Gary Harrison -- Fiddle -- Indian Creek Delta Boys. Another good one is Baby Ben (James Bryan, fiddle) Both of these tunes are fairly...
