(Revised) Tune List for July 2008 Gig

I found my little notebook! Here is the list that we came up with at Janice's.

I am still working on finding the music for some of these tunes. Bear with me. This is not in any particular order, nor is it a set list, per se, as these tunes are not paired yet:

Yellow Rose of Texas
Battle Cry of Freedom
Johnny Comes Marching Home
Yankee Doodle Dandy
The Girl I Left Behind Me
Garry Owen
Bonnie Blue Flag
Soldiers Joy
Arkansas Traveler
Angeline the Baker
Golden Slippers
Polly Wally Doodle
Over the Waterfall
Irish Washerwoman
Eighth of January

Waltzes: Home on the Range
Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms

Polkas: Frere Jaquez

Please help with any additional titles that should be added to this list and/or sheet music that I can add to our site.

Believe Me

Hi, everyone! I just got on the blog, which is a considerable step for me considering that I am so hesitant about computer-related activities (or any other technology that is post-1940). I have the music to "Believe Me," if anyone needs it. I can send it by scanning it into the computer as a PDF and e-mailing it. Any takers?

---Gabrielle (Gavrili)

*'Gavrili' is the Greek nickname version of 'Gabrielle' that some Greek friends of mine used to call me sometimes.

New Music on Blog

Hey all! I have added a couple of new songs if anyone is interested in learning them.

Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms
Jump at the Sun
Out on the Ocean (Janis suggests that we put this with Road instead of the dreaded Kesh)

Not trying to overwhelm you, Joe...

Believe me...

Is anyone having any luck finding music to Believe Me.. or shall I start digging. My fiddle teacher, Michelle Feldman, suggested Out on the Ocean to go with Road, instead of Kesh. What do you think? Not an overused tune.

Janis

This and that - upcoming gigs and the like

Hi All!

The gig on Sunday went well, although the turnout for dancers was light. I'm guessing many people didn't realize that the dance had been moved one day. Perhaps July will be better...but it is the 4th of July weekend, sort of. Which brings me to my next subject: upcoming gigs.

We are on the calendar for July 7th and August 4th, so mark yours, and practice, practice, practice! I know I will. Okay, I know I need it more than anyone else, but please don't throw me out of the band just yet! Gabrielle is working with me on learning harmonies, so I will finally be an asset to the band instead of that 'slow-fingered penny whistler (but we have to keep her because she belongs to Neil).'

New pieces: Joe wants us to be ready to play "The Moon and Seven Stars," and "Ten-Penny Bit," so be sure to focus on those. Any chance we can get "Water Mouse" going, Jane? Also, please take a look at "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms." Janis, Neil, Gabrielle and I can already play it. If we can add Joe, Ray, Shelley, Bob, and Jane that ought to be enough, doncha think? We have a very large band, don't we? Some of you may already know it. It is in the nature of a chestnut, IMHO. Bob, you might want to try the Autoharp on this one as it is a very sweet waltz.

Let's all hope that Clarence gets the ac fixed soon!!!
