To All,

Scanning through some of the mp3's I have noticed some have marked the tunes in (AEAE) or maybe in the comments.

When searching through the search engine...can't seem to pull in those that are specifically for AEAE tuning.

Does anyon have songs specifically in AEAE...
that I can link to ?

Or tell me how to search better ?




Thanks


David Powell

Many tunes that are in key of A can be played out of AEAE tuning. Some examples are on my page. I do state the tuning in the description if it is other than standard tuning.

Some AEAE tunes....

oldtimer's music page...

http://www.fiddlehangout.com/myhang...ic.asp?id=41

- Lonesome John/Cluck Old Hen

- Ol' Joe Clark/June Apple

- Old Yeller Dog/Crow Black Chicken

- Sandy Boys


bosco's music page

http://www.fiddlehangout.com/myhang...ic.asp?id=28

- Five Miles of Ellum Wood

- John Brown's Dream

- Railroad Runs Through Georgia (I love this tune...)

- Sourwood Mountain

- Sugar in My Coffee


There are a lot of'em around, but I don't think there's a way to automatically "search" for them. I suppose you could go to the various older threads that list AEAE tunes by title, then search for the titles.
