Billy in the Lowground MP3

–ad

I’m going to do Both Billy in the Lowground and Midnight on the Water for October. Look for these this week….

Well, Lets get this started:

Here are six songs that were on the top of my head;

Billy Wilson. A nice dance tune in A. Its 3 parts, and has a great C part.

Midnight on the Water, a beautiful Waltz in D. Nice and mellow. There are some great double stop melody options in this one.

Farewell Inez, this is a great canadian tune, another waltz-y song. Great for tremelo, I have a soundclip of me playing it on John Hamletts page since you probably never heard it, unless I played it for you…

Shenandoah Falls. another great dance tune. Its in A. Its really groovy

Stoney Point, an oldtimey/bluegrassy tune. its in G, if I remember right….if im thinking o fthe right somg.. I get it confused with Stoney Creek, so….

Billy in the Lowground, in C it was the tune that go me thinking of this whole crazy thing…..

Vote on which you like, and it will be done.

Here is what I am thinking:

There would be one tune per month.
I would make a recording of myself playing rhythm and lead.
I would leave 2 spots for you, the listener, to take breaks.
The tracks would be MP3s.
The tracks would be songs that I am working on.

The site would be free
I would accept donations, if you find it useful. (to defray bandwidth and hosting costs)

I am primarily focused on more old-timey stuff, but working with “jam standards” as well.

The recordings will have me on them (which means there may be flubs, etc in them…I’m assuming if you would be using them, you would probably be flubbing too, or else you wouldnt need them…)
