Tunes on the Eighteenth! a tuesday night look at something to do with irish music

Hey Y'all! We're holding our next Trad Irish Slow Session at Old Songs WED., MAY 18, 2022 if you are vaccinated (both doses), and preferably Boostered as well, and wear a mask.  The session is held on third Wednesdays at the Old Songs Community Arts Center 37 South Main St., Voorheesville, NY 12186 7:30-9:00 PM Cost: $5 per person Leader: traditional Irish fiddler Hilary Schrauf We'll be in the big upstairs room and we will spread our chairs out. Feel free to bring a music stand. There are some available to use. Learning by ear is preferred but over the years we've found that using sheet music to give everyone a jump start helps tremendously. Below you'll find the list of tunes for tonight, links to tune pages, and the three set lists we've been using. You're welcome to join us at 7:30 on Wednesday, April 20th to play tunes off of the list below. Cost is $5. Led by Hilary Schrauf, Irish Fiddle. Print these out from here: FOINN SEISUN BOOK #1 - pdf of the main tunebook we are using FOLDER OF SHEET MUSIC WE ARE USING (INCLUDING FOINN BOOK PDF) As far as I know we're still requiring vaccination for individuals in the building, and masks are still required. I think as long as we give each other some room, our whistle and flute players can come back.  Here are the tunes for tonight (yes, they are the same as March's list): In this folder in my Dropbox Boys of Bluehill / Off to California / Liverpool Hornpipe Father Kelly's / Merry Blacksmith / Sally Gardens - reels Joy of My Life (Donnybrook Fair) - Jig Corner House / Peeler's Jacket - reels Kitty's Gone a Milking - reel Shepherd's Lamb / Derrygallen Bridge - polkas Anne Walshe's / Man of the House - reels Musical Priest - reel In the Fionn Book #1 (and in the dropbox folder as part of the Fionn Book PDF) PAGE 25: Lark in the Morning - jig PAGE 35: Brosna's Slide / O'Keefe's Slide / Dennis Murphy's Slide PAGE 36: Ballydesmond Polka #1/Ballydesmond #2/Peg Ryan's PAGE 38: Sweeny's /Dennis Murphy's Polka / Maggie in the Wood PAGE 40-41: Doherty's Mazurka / Sonny's Mazurka / Shoe the Donkey PAGE 12: Teetotaller's / St. Anne's / London Lasses See you Wednesday 5/18 at 7:30 pm at Old Songs. $5 per person.
