In case anyone wants even more tunes to learn, a friend sent me this link: http://www.dearoldillinois.com/recordings.html . If you scroll to the bottom, you will find links to all 20 tunes on Garry Harrison's CD Red Prairie Dawn, which is out of print. I learned a couple of these wonderful tunes at Clifftop during our one marathon jam. Red Prairie Dawn is particularly gorgeous.

Very cool! This is great stuff. I've always loved "Mule Team". It's tougher to play than it seems.

If you want a copy of Red Prairie Dawn, I could make you one. It is one of the best fiddle-centric recordings I have ever been priviledged to hear!

Darol Anger's group played RPD during one of their sets at the IN Fiddlers Gathering in Battle Ground, IN last June. He wasn't sure where it came from but he found out soon enough. Later, he and Garry Harrison met up and Darol, Brittaney Haas, and others tried out some of Garry's two-point fiddles. It was a cool moment.
That CD is fantastic and, as Michele mentioned, may be heard at the Dear Old Illinois website.
