February Fiddle Club Session Round-Up

This month's fiddle club meeting ended with a modest session. I think people must have either headed home to catch the tail end of the superbowl, or to take a nap after the great potluck we'd just devoured! The food coma hypothesis also explains the glazed but satisfied looks on many of our faces as we struggled to think of tunes to play. But thanks to the intrepid sessioneers who remained, bringing fiddles, 5-string banjo, cittern, and smallpipes into the mix!

Here are the tunes we played:
Hughie Shorty's/Spootiskerry (VII-8/II-23)
Flowers of Edinburgh/Drover Lads/Mor a Chennaich/unknown (III-2/I-8/I-2/?)

Canaries (XII-?)
Off She Goes/Da Road To Houll (XI-34/VII-1)
Stella's Trip to Kamloops (?)

Muckin o' Geordie's Byre/Stool of Repentance/Sailor's Wife (I-4/I-4/II-13)
