Thread Name: The tyranny of D and G at sessions
Subject: RE: The tyranny of D and G at sessions
Well faked that man. Can we persuade all the Whitby D/G melodeonists to watch that Ed Rennie video?

I was at session yesterday that went into E on two numbers - "Maple Sugar", which is a fiddle tune in A and E that nobody ever does in other keys, and "Caledonia" which the singer decided to do in E. E isn't difficult on a recorder, and I knew "Maple Sugar" pretty well anyway, so that was fine. "Caledonia" had me beat because the way the performance went I needed to do an improvisatory break, and I didn't have enough ideas, as I hadn't practiced just noodling around in E very much. Conclusion: I need to work on that. Next time!
