detour muddy road ahead sheet music

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Thu, 9 Feb 2012 14:24:02 CST

Does anybody know where I can find the sheet music for Detour (theres a muddy road ahead) country version from westmoreland , not the Jazz version.

Or eight more miles to Lousville by Grandpa Jones.

I've tried all the obvious searches, I'm not trying to be rude, but if you don't know, I guess I don't mind a suggestion of where to look, but I would prefer the answer, not a suggestion.

Thanks, I know that looks impatient but I don't know how else to ask, without wasting mine and your time.

Chips 'n Sauce origin?

Apparently this really cool tune was pretty hot at the Portland OT Gathering this year.

It's been attributed to Ira Bernstein - does anyone know for sure?

Ive always loved this tune and ive figured some of it out but theres still much that I just cant get by ear, maybe its because 'Im lazy or maybe its because I'm not good enough yet, but Id love it if someone out there could post some tab/sheet music to this song, my buddies love to play it but we only know a lil bit! Thanks Adam

Alice's Waltz

Does any one know of the song Alice's Waltz by Owen Duffy? I am also wondering if it is copyrighted. I noticed a lot of people posting it on you tube and such. It's a lovely waltz and I enjoy playing it. Will post it when I know its ok to do so.

Hell on Wheels

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:51:10 CST

Hi,

I just finished watching the final episode (#10) of the TV series, "Hell on Wheels'" and discovered a beautiful fiddle tune played toward the end. Specifically, a country dance is being held at the end of the episode and the fiddler is playing what I thought to be a lovely waltz. Did anyone see this episode and, if so, were you conscious of the waltz being played? Can anyone identify it??

bumble bee in a jug

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:27:33 CST

There was a time when I had sheet music for the C version of this tune. I no longer have that sheet music. It is one of my favorites. A friend would like music for it and I am too lazy to put the tune onto paper... Can any of you produce sheet music for the tune? THanks. Lee

Sheet Music for the tune "Paul David"

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:37:24 CST

Would anyone by chance have a one-page sheet of music (perhaps a pdf file) for the tune (by and played by banjo player Chris Coole and the Foggy Hogtown Boys) "Paul David"? I play in a couple of jam groups in the Western / Finger Lakes (near Rochester) region of New York and would like to share the tune with some other folks I jam with who have trouble playing by ear. I can play it by ear myself on clawhammer banjo and can probably write it out for the fiddle players, but I just thought someone might have a sheet music version of the tune. Thanks.

If you haven't heard the tune, if you go to the BanjoHangout and to Chris Coole's member page (believe you have to be a BanjoHangout member to have access to a member page) you can hear this great (newer) Old Time tune featuring fiddle and banjo.

lyrics, all verses to Foggy Mountain Top ?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 08:20:08 CST

I was watching Carter Sisters doing "Foggy Mountain Top", my all time favorite, they had lyrics and verses for "Girl version"

does anyone have all verses suitable for male singers, "to the girl I love the best" (at the end of a chorus)

I know, theres lot of verses to this old Stanley Carter song available

Music Reader/Viewer for iPad

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:37:43 CST

I recently purchased as a Christmas present for my wife an iPad, which I hope she can use at jams to play from sheet music on the iPad. I have perhaps 125-150 simple one-page Old Time tunes currently in pdf format on our laptops and am interested in the best software / app to call individual tunes up on her new iPad.

Can anyone recommend a good, easy to use software app that will be useful for this purpose?

Black Mountain Rag

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:18:30 CST

Does anyone know of a video lesson on the internet for Black Mountain Rag. It sounds easy but I am having some trouble figuring out the fingering and double stops. Thanks for any advise.

site for songwriters

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:46:26 CST

Hey everyone

does anyone knows about a site for songwriters available ?

Who wrote this?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:33:30 CST

We were at a jam several weeks ago and a guy sang Waltz across Texas, or at least we think it was that one. He said he wrote the song but we didn't get his name.

Does anyone know who this gentleman might be? and we also aren't sure if this was the song...it could have been Kentucky Waltz. We were so awed by the fact that an original song writer was there singing for us that all we could do was play along.

I also need some suggestions about keeping track of who we meet. The area we live in is full of folks who have played for noted country artists etc. Do I interview them or at least make some sort of notation about who we meet. We never know who we will rub elbows with at jams.

The former guitar player for Alan Jackson is in our regular weekly jam...cool guy

Tennessee Breakdown?

Springtime in the Valley - origin?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:39:01 CST

Does anyone know the origin of this tune?

We played it today and not a one of us knew where it came from. I've tried google and FHO etc - no luck. Here's the whole tune once through, Caroline.

Roscoe or Big Scioty?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:22:00 CST

Hi, I've been trying to find some sheet music for a tune I love, but can't locate any for the tune "Roscoe." My question is this: Is it essentially the same tune as "Big Scioty?" (or Big Scitoa).

Sounds like the same tune to me (with some slight variations). I've found some sheet music for the latter.

Has Anyone Created .PDF Files Using Printmusic Software

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:04:13 CST

I am trying to figure out how to create an Adobe .PDF file using my Encore Printmusic software. I am not sure, but I think I need to acquire "Adobe Distiller" software. I am having trouble doing that. Adobe's web page doesn't display this product. Tried downloading a "free" version, but I ended up hassling with that software and still didn't have a copy of "Adobe Distiller".

South's Gonna Do It Again...I NEED IT!!!

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 17:28:14 CST

I can't seem to find music for The South's Gonna Do it Again by the Charlie Daniels band. I REALLY need it, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where? It doesn't even have to be a really good version. Just a decent one so that I know basic notes.

Can someone with a better ear break this down????

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:07:17 CST

Just wondering if someone with a better ear can break this down into tab or sheet music. Even a scaled down version for just the chorus would be great. I prefer tab but can transpose it from sheet music if thats what works for you.

My teacher will do it eventually for me, but she is very busy right now and I already have her breaking down other stuff for me and down want to load her down. I'm still training my ear.

One of my friends plays this song out and wants me to play fiddle backup while he does the guitar work. I could do it with out a problem with the tab.

FIddle tuning for OT Sally Ann?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 09:20:00 CST

Hello out there,

I've heard a standard G version of Old Time Sally Ann but really like this Freight Hoppers version. Can anyone tell me what tuning Fred is playing in? and does it change keys? It sounds like A, maybe xA?

Thanks a bunch : ))

Music for a found Harmonium

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 07:33:41 CST

We went to contra dance last night and the group (Caribou and Reed) played this tune called "Music for a found Harmonium"

Absolutely amazing tune. The original group is playing here below (Penguin Cafe Orchestra). It sounds quite different than Caribou and Reed does it where the fiddle leads it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJg1NNyke2E

It changes key 4 times each time through DCFD !!

Here are some fiddlers jamming on it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxBmfRMSKXU

Here is an Irish spin on it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PltA5woXKaA

I just searched my own library and found our Dave Reiner (Family) also plays it on their "Live" album along with Tam-Lin leading into it (which is how Caribou and Reed went into it).

Blue Christmas

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:04:18 CST

Hi All,

So my family has a tradition of singing "Blue Christmas" (the Elvis Presley version) each year during the holidays. We all take different parts. This year, instead of singing the back-up vocals, I thought it might be fun to play instead. Are there any charts of this floating around?

Thanks!

Does anyone know the name to this Strathspey?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:15:32 CST

Does anyone happen to know the name of the Traditional Strathspey at the beginning of this set?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Musician Ethics Transcribing sharing etc.

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:11:38 CST

Are their some defacto Musician Ethics regarding sharing something I transcribed from someone else.

For example I'd like to share my Transcription of how Brian Wickland taught me Tam-Lin.

Is it any different from Jenny sharing her Transcription of the "The Gael"?

Do you have to put your own spin on it, to call it your version enough to have the right to share it?

I don't know if Brian got it from somewhere else or if it's really Brian's unique interpretation of it?

He felt he could share it "commercially" at a camp. Don't all camps do this. Do they need permission for all the tunes they teach?

I think I know the answer and that it's just a very grey area and you try your best not to step on anyones toes and always give credit.

I wish Music had a "GNU Public License" (GPL) agreement.

Shane's reel?

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Wed, 2 Nov 2011 15:09:23 CST

I just heard Shane's reel on Pandora. What an awesome song!! It was played by Stevie Barr. I have googled it and youtubed it without much luck. Does this reel have another name? I would love to find some music for it. (I don't know how to learn by ear yet)

Thanks, ya'll!

Wait So Long - Trampled By Turtles - Banjo Tab...

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:10:58 CST

This request showed up over on the Banjo Hangout...

I got a personal request to do a banjo arrangement of the tune and the following is what I came up with...

Anyone is welcome to take what I have here and work out the details of the fiddle part...

I play fiddle a little, but the young man's solo was beyond me, so I just added the fiddle part as a back-up sound track for the banjo tab...

I transcribed the fiddle part over to banjo so that the banjo players can play a 'complete-sounding' arrangement for the banjo...

Technically, someone could take the arrangement I've done, take the banjo track, turn on 'notation' and you would have something readable for the notations readers to work from... I guess I could do that also... but it would really only be a parallel of what the fellow played... the initial melody is easy enough... but that solo he played later on was 'rock star' material!

Well... here it is...

Is Golden Fiddle Waltz copyrighted? I know it was written by the late Randy Howard. I would like to record it on a cd I am planning to make and don't know if it's okay to use this or not. I have cds where people used the tune but don't know if it has any copyright entailments.

Belgrove Road & Humours of Scarrif? HELP!

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 08:16:00 CST

I have this cd http://www.amazon.com/Lifescapes-Celtic-Celebration-World-Traveler/dp/B00130GRBC , (unfortunately I couldn't find a link so you guys could hear it )

Anyway, track #1: Belgrove Road, & track #11: Humours of Scarrif are 2 Irish tunes I'd really like to learn. Where can I get music to them!? (sheet music is the first choice, but I like these enough to slow them down in Audacity and learn them note by note if I have to)

Does anyone have sheet music to either of these tunes? (I don't mind if people have different versions, I like to compare them when I'm first learning a tune anyway) Thanks!

The Civil War...Music & Reenacting

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 07:54:38 CST

I'm getting into Civil War reenacting, went to a event last week as a visitor. When they heard I'm a fiddler & fife player, they begged me to join, asked if I wanted to barrow some clothes on the spot! I would like to know some tunes that would have been played during that time, to be authentic as well as to learn some new tunes to play around the campfire...Any CDs, recordings, sheet music links, names of tunes if you don't have links, websites, etc. would be much appreciated! Also, does anyone else on the FHO reenact? I'm really curious!

Royalty-free sheet music for fiddle classics

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Fri, 7 Oct 2011 19:24:21 CST

Anybody have any resources for royalty-free sheet music of old fiddle classics? I've found several online, but was wondering if there's more. I hate buying entire books just for a handful of songs, and find it easier to download individual files when available. I've discovered a few such as C.P.Music.com (which also provides sound files), the Institute of American Music (also with sound files), and a few others. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
