29 Aug 16 - 11:27 AM (#3807388) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Shepherd's Purse From: leeneia I did some checking, Rodge. Didn't find it. Googled it Checked abcnotation.com Checked The Session. The Session has some discussion, but it doesn't lead to a tune. https://thesession.org/discussions/38678 ======== Are you aware that shepherd's purse is a weed? The title has a tongue-in-cheek air to it which makes me suspect the tune is contemporary. |

29 Aug 16 - 04:17 PM (#3807444) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Shepherd's Purse From: GUEST,Flush if it was the middle earth upstairs in the afternoon we played a waltz called the Shepherd Wife waltz, might have been that one, you can check it out on youtube |

30 Aug 16 - 11:55 AM (#3807584) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Shepherd's Purse From: leeneia Yet the world could use a dance tune called The Shepherd's Purse. Here's a picture of the plant: http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/shepherd_purse.htm We see jagged leaves in a circle with a tall, spindly flower stalk. Clearly we need a jig or reel which mostly zigzags back on itself but has one place where the melody zips way high to evoke the flower stalk. I'd write it, but my sound card is fried. ====== Rodge, it appears you can find sheet music and abc online is you omit the word Waltz. Search for "The Shepherd's Wife." |
