Old-Time Ensemble (Wed) – week 1

Perhaps we’ll focus on steeds and other hoofed creatures this session. Starting out in the key of A . . .

Wild Horse as played by Hector Phillips of Petersburg, Indiana in 1980.

slow

medium

Plus, a bonus tune. It is almost identical to Hector’s “Wild Horse”
(but still, there’s a difference).

Bell Cow, played by Harvey “Pappy” Taylor of Effingham, Illinois.

I learned the tune from Garry Harrison and the Indian Creek Delta Boys

tuesday 8PM fiddle 3 molly put the kettle on

welcome to new and returning students this new session. today we learned
a version of molly put the kettle on. we don’t usually get all technical the first day of fiddle 3, but your enquiring minds wanted to know, so theres a lot of stuff packed into this tune.
first version played med-fast. just listen, get the tune rolling around in your head, feel the rhythm.
second version slower, first time through, simple, second time with slurs, double stops and syncopations.

for your dining and dancing pleasure

slow and informationy
