29 Oct 06 - 08:13 PM (#1871746) Subject: FSGW Getaway JUG BAND MUSIC!! 2006 From: Amos If you want some insight into the origins and traditions of real middle-America Jugban Music, here's a wonderful overview. Meanwhile I am looking for favorite songs of the Jugband genre to put together a lyrics file, partly for my own amusement, and also for anyone else who would want such a thing. Jim Bunch and I will be happily co-hosting a Jug Band hour from 11 to 12 on Saturday at the Nature Center, and wopuld be delighted to see you there clapping, thumping, strumming, scrubbing, stomping, hooting, twanging or just humming along. Y'all come, hear? Here are songs that come to mind as good JugBand material, mostly from my time with the Comstock Creek Jug Band in 19...never mind when. It was indecently long ago. Stealin' Take it Slow and Easy Jugband Quartette (Jug Band Music) Give Him Jugband Music Darktown Strutter's Ball Wives Don't Like Old Girlfriends Ragged but Right Ragtime Cowboy (Talk About a Cowboy!) Joe Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind? Bill Bailey Mornin' Blues/Mournin' Blues Five Foot Two Ain't She Sweet? Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out Sweet Georgia Brown Shimmy Like My Sister Kate You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Making Whoopee Doing that Lindy-Bird Across the Sea Blues in the Bottle Separation Blues Crazy 'Bout My Loving Hell, I know there are two million tunes in the notosphere that should be performed by a Jug Band, but I am open to suggestions for just a little sampler of the classic tunes that have Jug Band written all over 'em. Your advice welcome! A |

There is a ton additional links in the Jug Band Thread that I started several years ago (thread.cfm?threadid=38599 ). Arlo Leach has also posted lyrics and chords of some songs on the Hump Night Thumpers site (http://www.humpnightthumpers.com/assembled/songs.html). However, I know of no good compilation of jug band standards like you have started. Way to Go!!! See you Friday Gutbucketeer JAB |
