denise:^) Tune Req: Shanghai Rooster (26) RE: Tune Req: Shanghai Rooster 15 Nov 02


Well, I think that the one *listed* at most of these sources is it!!
It'll be one of the ones that is recorded by a dance band, and listed as a reel (like the Coelas or Dulcimer Player's News listings).

I'm just amazed that we can't find an abc file or sheet music, which is what my original search was for...I knew I'd looked all of the 'regular' places, but this list is such an amazing resource, I thought it was well worth a try--and it was! I learned a few things:
~ there are a couple of places I can look for a recorded version;
~ other dulcimer players have heard this tune & knew what I was talking about;
~there aren't a ton of dance tunes that have "rooster" in the title!

I knew, before I even started looking here, that it wasn't "Sweet Betsy from Pike."

I'll just have to get my hands on one of the recordings, and make my own sheet music. I hate to reinvent the wheel, but, obviously, this wheel's not been invented yet! If the Mudcatters can't find it, it doesn't exist...

Thanks for all the help!
