<p><strong>DONE!! </strong></p>
<p>Volume is now complete with 38 songs. It ended with 2 irish style tunes <strong>Leavitt's Irish Jig</strong> and <strong>The poor Wandering Boy. </strong> I used the Bell Boucher for this leg of the journey...RH was between 41% and 45% almost everyday...good times for recording.</p>

<p><strong>Leavitt's -</strong> added 2 more...<strong>Leavitt's Duff Polka</strong> and <strong>Leavitt's Waltz.</strong> Both seemed consumed with adding harmonics into the songs. The wildest one is in the Waltz, where in between these quarter notes, he interspurses a flurry of harmonics....1.triplet eighth 2.sixteenth 3.eighth - ALL IN ONE MEASURE...and then calmy cut back into slow quarter notes. Crazy little phrase. Well, I played it as is.</p>

<p><strong>Dan Emmett's waltz.</strong> This is a really good easy piece if you want to get a waltz into the repertoire.</p>
<p><strong>Chuckle Jig.</strong> A motif similar to<strong> </strong>Quadrilles and Tycoon, but in a major key. Also, at the end you get this crazy high lick of repeated notes, like Rail Road Polka. </p>

<p>2 more....<strong>Deacon Buckley's Jig</strong> and <strong>Buckley's Copenhagen Reel.</strong> I did not really recall these. There is a couple of funky grace notes in there....I found a way. Wanna know the secret?...ha ha. The second one. Copenhagen, is of a style I really like. It has these running eighth notes with this balnced Bach-like lines. Some fiddle piece, I'm sure. I'll look deeper sometime.</p>

<p>Couple more...<strong>Ninth Avenue Jig</strong> by Professor Price. Anybody got anything on this guy?</p>
<p>Then <strong>Land of Canaan.</strong> I like this one a lot, but then ask myself...would I like it as much if I had not heard repeated listenings of the Cane brake Minstrels?</p>

<p><strong>Strawberry Girl</strong>...page 39. I remember this one bugging me as being a stange tune. I still think so. Perhaps I hear a little more in it this time, but my modern ears just don't quite grok it all yet. As far as I can tell, I extracted the notes from the page, and did not see any reason to change anything...but I thought about a G natural in M6.</p>

<p><strong>11/24/12</strong> Okay, i have to skip over <strong>Harmonic Jig</strong> for now. It needs further study. Not that I can't play it, I just am not sure what to do. So, moving on to <strong>Original Essence</strong> credited to Dan Bryant. It is the first one with no thumb string indications, and also openly says it is for violin. The key signature has 2 sharps....making one think that perhaps it is in "Briggs' tuning". I chose to use the Rice thought, and place the thumb string as…</p>

The key signature has 2 sharps....making one think that perhaps it is in "Briggs' tuning". I chose to use the Rice thought, and place the thumb string as "E". Since dan Bryant and Dan Emmett worked together, it is worth mention that this has some "Whole Hog" riffs in it.</p>
