Thread Name: Oldtime Jamming Question (duh)
Subject: ADD: Give Me Old-Time Music
Now I am listening to Give Me Old - Time Music at Honkingduck. This is GRAET! It's the tune of "Gimme Dat Oldtime Religion." There are only two verses on the recording, but it's got possibilities to go on all night and teach people how to take a short solo going around the circle:

Potatoes, then songleader sings and all play:
Give me old-time music,
Give me old-time music,
Give me old-time music,
It's good enough for me.

(Next, all play it once through)

Songleader:
They play it on the bass fiddle,
They play it on the bass fiddle,
They play it on the bass fiddle,
It's good enough for me.

(Next, bass plays lead once through, others back it up)

All:
Give me old-time music,
Give me old-time music,
Give me old-time music,
It's good enough for me.

Songleader:
Pick it on the banjo,
Pick it on the banjo,
Pick it on the banjo,
It's good enough for me.

(Now the banjo plays lead once through, others back it up)

You could go on all night!
