What's your new fiddle tune?

Over the Waterfall on fiddle, after working it out on mando. This one just seems to fall under my fingers and was easy to learn, unlike most other tunes.

When I try to learn a tune on fiddle that I know on mandolin, I have to keep bringing the fiddle down to my lap and picking it, to remind me how it goes. Something about raising it under my chin that seems to empty my brain.

Just started last March and love playing Pritchett's Hornpipe

[Fred Keller]

Booth Shot Lincoln. Just finished "Manhunt." Books ok--not really great IMHO. But the tune cooks!

Cowboy's Dream. It has a wonderful melody. Had an Old-time jam with my OT pickin' buddies this weekend. The video is a little dark but here's us playing Cowboy's Dream. Fun tune to play.

The Maidens of Galway on box

Watched the movie "Everything is Illuminated" again--this time with more intention of paying attention to the music which is excellent. I arranged the main motif--a nice waltz--on box. Also learned Oriental(?) Hora on PA...having been inspired by klezmer stuff lately

Came across Drunken Hiccups on the Lindley/Kaiser compilation this afternoon, and if I can get myself to pick my fiddle up I'm inspired to learn this one next. But I'm apt to learn it on box first!

I just learned Booth Shot Lincoln. That is a great tune.

Reels; Robertsons, de Mattewa, San Antonio, got a better handle on Yellow Barber, love Little Sadie, and especially Home With the Girls in the Morning and Maggie in the Woods. I always come home from Winfield sleep-deprived, sore fingered and with a pile of new tunes to work on. Thanks to the Carp Camp crowd for allowing me to hang out on the fringes.

Been on a Kenny Baker kick- learned "Hollow Poplar" and "Make a Little Boat." Met a fiddler who jammed with Kenny back in the late '80s. Besides being a wonderful guy who would jam with anyone, he told me Kenny wrote the majority of his original tunes while riding on his tractor. I really like that story, even if it may be apocryphal.
Best,
Max

I'm going to learn the Swedish fiddle tune, "Josephine Waltz."

f-d

[Jim Nollman]

"Billy Wilson" and "Possum Under the Gum Stump" have just been added to our contra dance repertoire. Plus "The Year of Jubilo". On my own, started playing "The Forgotten Chateau". Almost up to speed. Not sure where that last tune's from.

[Brian Ray]

Started learning this one this morning... Winder Slide

[Mike Bunting]

For some reason, Big Sciota is on the list along with The Dead March and Devil Ate the Groundhog.

[Paul Kotapish]

Last night someone asked me if I knew a tune called "Wild Ginger." It sounded familiar and there was some muscle memory in the old fingers, so I figured I must have known it at one time.

Eventually I realized that it was part of a medley of David Cahn tunes I'd recorded with the Rodney Miller Band a few decades back on the Greasy Coat CD.

Haven't played any of those tunes since the band last played at Pinewoods in the early '90s, so my new fiddle tune set is three melodies I used to know and now need to relearn: "Liza Rose, Stepping on Worms, Wild Ginger." Good tunes, all. Glad to have my memory jogged.

Well after a recent thread mentioning hammered dulcimers, and another one talking O'Carolan, I was compelled to get to playing mine again today and learning the Frieze Britches hence. It's one of those pieces that lies eminently on HD.

I'm working on two new tunes . . . Richard Forest's "Reel de quatre patates" and a march by Thomas Pomerleau.
