Thread Name: Number of repeats in medleys
Subject: Number of repeats in medleys
Something I just posted to the JP Cormier thread prompted me to start this one. When doing medleys of fiddle tunes, how many times do you repeat a tune before going on to the next one? Around here, we've always done each tune in a medley three times through. Free standing non-medleyed tunes usually get done four times through for quick tunes like jigs and reels or three times for waltzes and airs. When I met JP Cormier I was surprised that he was only doing each tune in a medley twice through. Is this common in some areas or just a quirk of JP's?
