Songs of the month are Old Spinning Wheel and Aura Lea. Old Spinning Wheel has been recorded slow and fast, in folk, jazz, bluegrass, old time, and country styles. Check out the many versions on YouTube. There is one accidental that can be handled in different ways...bend, chromatic harp, alternate note. Should be interesting to see what we come up with.
Aura Lea is from 1861 and has been very popular for a long time. No bends if played on the higher side of a standard Richter.
We have had several new members recently. Song of the month is a fun feature of this forum for the past 3 years. Sarge picks songs or asks a member to pick songs. They can be easy or challenging, well known or obscure. We can even revisit a tune we did awhile back. Nobody's version is "more correct" or wrong. If you would like to pick songs in the future just send Sarge a message and he can get you in line for a turn.
