Subject: RE: 10 Best Fiddle Tunes
G-Force,

Right now, I'm just looking for suggestions. I can weed out any that I think are too difficult.

I certainly wouldn't ask any of them to play Mason's Apron although I have one student who I'm hoping will one day master it.

An inspirational short cut is what I'm looking for: simple tunes hidden away in tunebooks that rarely see the light of day but will keep me entertained as much as the kids.

The ubiquity of Ashokan Farewell has rendered it, to my ears, a little boring.

An example? On Sam Sweeney's album, Unearth Repeat, what he calls Winter 350 but William Winter called "A Country Dance"; so simple and yet (under Sweeney's bow) so beautiful.
