There are also some tabs for some of the tunes and I believe a links page. If nothing else, e-mail Jim Moss who runs the site...a great fiddler in his own right who loves the old-timey traditions and would be glad to point you in the right direction if he can! |

Anyone could take a tune and play it on piano, recorder, flute, dulcimer, or tuba. So don't look for fiddle tunes, just look for good tunes. Start with Richard Robinson's Tune Book. It has links to other sites. Or you could just buy the Fiddler's Fakebook (alternative title: 50,000 Eighth Notes) for $25 and save yourself a lot of time. |

18 Feb 02 - 02:45 AM (#652508) Subject: RE: Tune Req: where to find fiddle tunes From: bseed(charleskratz) I keep having computer crashes, not the ones that destroy my hard drive any more, but ones that cause me to lose data, particularly stuff like my Mudcat cookie and browser favorites. In my most recent event, I lost a great source of fiddle tune sound files I found in the forum. It appeared in a thread started by someone, as I remember, who asked how to learn to accompany fiddle tunes, and it had MIDIs or MPEGs or Quick Time files for hundreds of fiddle tunes. Recently I tried finding it via a Google search, and although I didn't succeed, I did find one good source of MIDIs: http://homepages.valylink.net.au/~ausreg/celtic/celtic.html (a little blue clicky magic would help here). And can anyone direct me to that thread and its link to the fiddle tunes site? --seed |

Note: it works better in Explorer than in Netscape. (I was the one who started the thread on fiddle tune backup--which turned up lots of good information and advice.) Aloha, Mark |
