19 Jun 10 - 12:13 PM (#2931098) Subject: Tune Req: Help To Identify This Melody From: Rob Naylor I have a fragment of a tune score on an old photocopy. I'd like to find out the name and author so I can get the full score as I'm quite taken with the bit I do have. I've uploaded it to YouTube at: Unknown tune Fragment I've just run through the first ("A") part once. I have about 3 notes from a "B" part so I know that's not the complete tune. It may be from a guitar instruction book of the "Play In A Day" type. Any help to ID this greatly appreciated! Rob |

I know it's not folk, but that doen't usually stop Mudcatters. So either: - it's quite obscure - it's so well known that no-one can believe I'm seriously asking - the playing's so bad that no-one could ever identify it |

It seems like the one from here was a place-name blues and I think of it as a fiddle tune. |

Melissa: I've had a look at several blues tunes with placenames in the title and so far drawn a blank. Dunno why it's bugging me so much...I guess I like the bit I've learned and just want to find the whole tune if possible. I wish I knew where the photocopy of the part score came from. I think it fell out of an old "BMG" magazine dated 1971 that I got in a junk shop a while back, which would indicate that it at least pre-dates 1972 (or maybe not, if it was inserted subsequently...but the mag is in pretty pristine condition. Not well-used). I initially thought: "no problem, I'll play it, put the clip on YouTube, link to it from a Mudcat thread and someone'll ID it within a couple of hours" :-) NOW it's bugging me that this didn't happen :-) . Oh well! |
