In playing Old Time music there needs to be a lead melody instrument.\u00a0\u00a0 Traditionally, this is the fiddle and we have done well using the banjo and mandolin as our lead.\u00a0\u00a0 However, we have longed hope that a fiddle player would emerge from our family and she has.<\/p>

Over the Easter weekend Fran came for a visit and led the group with some fine fiddle playing.\u00a0 She introduced us to some new Celtic songs \u201cBritches Full of Stiches\u201d and\u00a0 \u201c Road to Lisdoonvarna\u201d as well as play some more traditional Old Time tunes like \u201cOld Joe Clark\u201d and \u201cBoil Them Cabbage Down.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The latter Fran showed us an unknown part B to this song.\u00a0\u00a0 John even joined in with playing along with the Mountain Dulcimer and Edna got to try our her new Banjo.\u00a0\u00a0 Overall a good weekend working to integrate a new player and so very glad to have Fran join us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
