Sat, 20 Feb 2010 11:55 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=1031 My second book with 30 more original tunes in an equally eclectic mix to my first book Giblitz Fancy. As usual I have attempted to keep them contradance friendly with most tunes being 32 bars and hot having crooked bits. I use many of these tunes at dances so they are dance floor tested and approved by caller, dancers and bandmates. Sat, 20 Feb 2010 11:55 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=1030 GIBLITZ FANCY (V7.0) is a collection of 90 tunes I've written mostly on the fiddle. The range of styles include Irish, Old Timey, Klezmer, Eastern European, Mariachi, New England Contra, Bossa, and Swing. The intent is that most be used for Contra Dance so the normal range of jigs and reels are present as well as polkas, hornpipes, waltzes, and swing tunes. The Book also includes airs written to honor friends who've past or moved away. As can be expected in a vanity press I threw in everything I've ever written, but I know there are some real winners in here so it's worth checking out. The price is barely above what it cost me to print them since I do them in small batches. Sat, 20 Feb 2010 11:55 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=1315 I recently put together a workshop on old-time fiddle tunes with Christmas associations. I did so on the premise that there was surely something better to play for the season than Jingle Bells or I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I ended up teaching four tunes: Isham Monday's Christmas Eve, John Carson's Christmas Time Will Soon Be Over, Tommy Jarrell's Breaking Up Christmas, and French Carpenter's Old Christmas Morning. Along the way, I made a CD tutorial to accompany the workshop, with each tune played at dance speed, at moderate speed, and broken down into a detailed tutorial with help on bowings, ornaments, etc., along with tune transcriptions for flyspeck readers. If any of you are interested in acquiring same said, please drop me a line. Again, many thanks indeed. And all the best to all of you for the season, Lisa Ornstein Lisa Mon, 8 Feb 2010 09:17 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=1454 I have an additional copy of a genuine Band in a Box Pro 2009.5 plus Real Band DVD for Windows that was sent to me as a duplication of order from PG Music in November 2009. I consider BiaB to be an excellent timing and back up program to help your fiddle playing.
