    Default Need a fiddle tune with "white" in the title

    My band is working up a medley: Red-Haired Boy, Boys from Blue Hill; we're
    looking for a fiddle tune with "white" in the title so we can do a Red, White, and Blue set.

    Black and White Rag, usu. a piano rag, but I remember Grisman's MWN had a snippet of it in there, maybe by Johnny Gimble, or Buck White.

    The Session has seven and a half pages of them (some are duplicates):

    You could make a fiddle tune out of "Play That Funky Music, White Boy!" by Wild Cherry

    I second the White Cockade. One of my favorite tunes.

    You can search "white" at this website and parse through the hits that are fiddle tunes.

    Then again, you have a lot to work on already - ha.
