Can anyone help me find a way to get the sheet music (standard notation, not tab) for Sourwood Mountain in the key of A?  The copy that's featured on www.musicnotes is in Eb major, and it isn't clear what key the other Sourwood Mountain offerings they're advertising, so I didn't want to blindly order the sheet music only to find out it's in another key.  My problem (please bear with me!) is that I'm trying to play my fiddle along with the A tuning version on the Old Time Jam, but I can't figure it out just by ear. I guess I need to see the sheet music in A.   Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike ('fretfulchild')

It's here in G.  Move every note up one step.  G=A

Marion Thede's "The Fiddle Book" has a nice transcription, I believe in D, but you could move it up one set of strings to A.

You're from Rome NY?  A great place for fiddling - there and Osceola.  I used to play (in the 80's) at a  place called the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame with the New York State Old Time Fiddlers Association.  There was a fiddler up there, Ernie McDonald, one of the best I ever heard.

Thanks, Hendrid!!  I'll just transpose it to A.  That's a big help and a good site for other tunes as well. 

Check your email, Mike. You've now also got a sound file.
