Ithaca Class tunes, Fall 2015
Here’s a tune list and some recordings of some tunes we’ll be doing in class this fall. My hope is that we’ll keep adding to this – as I teach you new tunes, and as you come up with others you want to share.
If you’re newer to the class, you can also look back through these tunes here, which we worked on in classes last year.
April 12 – An Dro in Bm, Glise a Sherbrooke
Hello, Ithaca Fiddle Class!
Here’s a new tune from today, another An Dro to go with the one we already know.
Also, we reviewed the tune that David Kaynor taught in his workshop back in March:
February 8 – Oh the Britches Full of Stitches
Here’s the tune that some folks shared during our jam session on Sunday.

February 5 – Tunes for the next quarter
Hi Kanack Fiddle Club!
We decided (somewhat spur-of-the-moment, but I really like the idea) to pick a few tunes last Thursday, and work on them over the next few weeks. Here they are:
Bus Stop Reel by Anita Anderson
The Roaring Barmaid by Anthony “Sully” Sullivan
Crooked Stovepipe traditional
The Stool of Repentance traditional
Enjoy!
