Well, I've been scarce here while preparing for this concert.<br />
<br />
and now it is postponed until 12/28 (same time and place etc.) due to the inclement weather--Nearly a foot of "inclement weather" and expecting more.<br />
<br />
I'll respond soon to the questions about repertoire. I'm not ignoring you -- just overextended...

I'm still trying to get the hang of this Ning system, seems to revert all the replies to the first message on the thread, but I guess sequentially it will be at the bottom of the list where it belongs...<br />

For any but the most hardcore folks who must find it in a pre-1865 banjo tutor or not play it, a good source for earlyish tunes for this annual gig is Karen Willard's "American Christmas Harp." It's been out of print for a while, but there are rumors of a new 2008 edition. I'll paste in a link to a sort of review, by one of the producers of "Awake, my soul," a current documentary on the Sacred Harp tradition. (Mostly traditional, mostly American folk hymnody, set in four-shape notation -- but round-note people can read it, too. I don't know if tab people can. It's intended as choral music.)<br />

That link will open a different forum, but only to the discussion of the American Christmas Harp. You might put it on your to-do list, get one when it's available, and learn some unusual stuff for next year.<br />

<br />
I do a "Cowboy Christmas" program with some of my old Bluegrass buddies each year. In recent years it's gotten to be more "Nineteenth Century" than Cowboy from my influence.<br />

I've found most of the tunes in the LOC American Memory. The ones we do include:<br />
