A couple of Celtic tunes that are easily played on mandolin are:
1. Over the Waterfall
2. Whiskey Before Breakfast
3. Arkansas Traveler( Americanized version of Irish tune)
4. Cold Frosty Morning
Hope that helps with some suggestions

NEVER MIND ME! *L* I was worried about getting it done by the end of the month because I thought we were about 10 days farther into the month than we actually were! More than that, 'cause I thought it was about the 18th around the end of last week! I have had to plan WAY too much stuff too far in advance lately; and since I already had as many plans for April as I typically have for the following month by 2/3 of the way thru the current one, I just assumed this was late March *LOL*
And I'm not even sure I put that in the right thread. I think I need a (and I don't do caffine, so that would NOT be coffee *LOL*). I should have gone out for a drink w/ the other folks from the PRSSA (school club) tonight! *j/k*
It's "Appalachia," (Apple-at-chuh), like I'm gunna throw an apple atcha' if you correct me again.
Cumberland Reel is a good and easy celtic tune in D and 6/8.
If we'd to do a jig, I really like Paddy Clancy's and Tar road to Sligo.
I didn't know Arkansas traveler was an Irish tune!! What's the name of it originally?
Maybe I should have read through all replies before saying anything? I really agree with you. I thought 6/8 timing was impossible to play before I started really listening to jigs (I think I've said that somewhere). Let's stick with simple 4/4 tunes. It seems Cherokee shuffle is winning. That's great to me, I like that one. I've played it some but never really worked on it. It's a great tune to learn because it's very popular at the festival jams here. (Soon it's festival season! Tjohoo!)Originally Posted by (Nik-chick @ Mar. 08 2004, 20:56)
