05 Feb 04 - 01:21 AM (#1109740) Subject: I need fiddle music From: GUEST,Branden O'Hare Hello, I was wondering if anyone had fiddle music for any of John Hartfords songs, Mississippi Dew and Long Hot Summer Days in particular. I could also use guitar music for any of his songs. My email adress is bsohare@bigred.unl.edu, and I would love to hear from you. Thanks Branden O'Hare |

That will pull out any references already discussed in the forum. I'm pretty sure there have been some - not necessarily about the tunes you want, but ther might be links already to other sources. Quack! Geoff the Duck. |

I play the fiddle and guitar, and was wondering if anyone out there had the actual music for these songs (or any Hartford songs for that matter), so that I could learn them. I figure its a long shot, but itd be well worth trying. |
