Thread Name: What songs/tunes are you practising now?
Subject: RE: What songs/tunes are you practising now?
I've been working on material for an upcoming gig (March 5, if you're interested) at The Focal Point here in St. Louis with my band, The Mound City Slickers. Along with contributions from the rest of the band, I'm trying to get these into shape:

"Moonshiner" and "Hills Of Mexico" from Roscoe Holcomb
"Leaving Home" from Charlie Poole, about the Frankie and Johnny/Frankie and Albert murder here in St. Louis
"I've Always Been A Rambler" which I picked up from The New Lost City Ramblers
A couple from The Cheap Suit Serenaders: "Fine Artiste Blues" & "She Lived Down By The Firehouse"
"Down By The Willow Garden" a fine old ballad of murder and subsequent punishment!

I'm having a wonderful time with all of them, by the way.
