Old Time Ensemble Graduation at Paddy O’Splaines

What a great night. Lotsa folks played their hearts out. Two Old Time Ensembles (4 bands), Early Country Ensemble and two banjo classes. And fiddle classes. Jim’s Fiddle I, my Fiddle 3 and Walter’s brand new Fiddle 4: New England

We’ll do it again in 8 weeks. Here’s “Get Aboard the Ship” by Jim, Steve & yours truly.

Fiddle I, Session 2009.1

Maria’s monday class did a killer version of “Angeline the Baker” at graduation. They sang one verse.

Here’s some more lyrics from the Digital Tradition database.

CHOR: Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker
Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker

1. Angeline the Baker lives
On the village green
The way the I love her
Beats all to be seen.

2. Angeline the Baker,
Her age is forty-three
I gave her candy by the peck,
But she won’t marry me.

3. She won’t do the bakin’,
Because she is too stout
She makes cookies by the peck
And throws the coffee out.

4. The last time I saw her,
It was at the county fair
Her daddy chased me halfway home,
And told me to stay there.

5. Angelina taught me to weep,
And she taught me to moan
Angelina taught me to weep
And play on the old jawbone
