Thread Name: Old-time music in a rut?
Subject: RE: BS: Old-time music in a rut?
I like singing in unison with a fiddle. I only know one fiddle thing (I am terrible on fiddle) I can do with any degree of reasonableness (is that a word?) and that is "Poor Drunkard". I love the way it sounds in unison with the fiddle. I can sing in D and sorta in G (but only after gargling with ice water) and certainly in A and with luck in E.

Odd, though, I don't ever sing when I am playing the mandolin even though I have words to almost every tune I can manage on it. I wonder why?
