Fiddle 4 Cajun (Tue) – week 4

A standard today. You can dance a two-step to this. Maybe a jitterbug as well.
It’s in A on the fiddle. But your guitarist has to play it in G. Remember, because
you’re tuned down.

Lake Arthur Stomp

Recorded by Miller’s Merrymakers in 1937

Check back again for a slower version.

Opossum in the Well – a fairly simple D-tune. Should bounce along. A couple of well-placed slurs help. One passage full of shuffles in the B part.
