This list covers most of the tunes that have been played at our jam sessions. A few are rarely played at present, but at one time or another, all have been. A "*" denotes tunes that are currently getting a lot of play. Most are included in the NEMOFOTMAD Chord Book, and there are always several of those open at the sessions, so folks who don't already know the tune can participate.

The Back-Yard BBQ and Music Festival is just a few day away! I will need a roll call of attendee's to make the line up for the Jam. If you are planning to drop in for a few hours please email me at jill@lyonsvillage.org. My music director is getting a little anticy without names to put into slots. Funny I know, but we have learned to live with it after all of these years.

There will be some sound equipment on site, but feel free to bring what you like. The Gates will open at 2:00pm Friday, October 5th, and the open Jam will start about 5:00 pm.

I feel remiss in the fact that we haven't yet posted the tunes we play around the Kansas City area. I think of them as arch-standards, but maybe they are just standards in our area. :)

I'd say that every jam sees at least 4 out of 5 of these fiddle tunes played:

Soldier's Joy
Old Joe Clark
Red Haired Boy
Blackberry Blossom
St. Anne's Reel

Here are just a few tunes we play at our jams:

A - Red Haired Boy
G - Dixie Hoedown
D - Just When I Needed You
A - Bill Cheatham
D - Cuckoo's Nest

Can't think of more, but we have our jam tomorrow and I'll add to this list.

shelah

Here's some more!

D - St. Anne's Reel
D - Whiskey Before Breakfast
A - Panhandle Rag
G - Beaumont Rag
