Here are some tunes we play at the Wednesday night jam session and some other tunes of interest in abc notation. Please note that the Wednesday night tunes are not a representative sampling of the tunes we play; rather, they are a compilation of tunes for which I’ve written out music or found and modified others’ abc notation to fit our versions of the tunes. In some cases I’ve included comparisons between the tune as written and the tune as played by a local fiddler who may be a source for many of our tunes.
