October Meeting

From Slidennis on 9/26/2011 2:36:57 PM

Hey Folks.  I see Tom is soliciting songs/tunes to jam to for the upcoming meeting.  Anyone have any thoughts about what they would like to hear, jam to or learn to play.

I was thinking about doing a few songs from my past.

1. High On A Mountain Top - Ola Belle Reed's not Loretta's

2. Hickory Wind - Kind of like Satisfied Mind with other lyrics

3. Midnight Moonlight or some other Peter Rowan song

4. Angeline Baker - with lyrics, mp3, tabs etc.

Ron, I've been researching where Angeline Baker comes from and you are right.  It's said to be a parody of Angeline by Stephen Foster, but more PC in the lyrics department these days.

As alternates I could give these a shot:

1. Man of Constant Sorrow - Soggy Bottom version

2. Howlin' At the Moon - Screamin Jimmies or Sam Bush

3. I'll Fly Away

4. White Freightliner

What are others thinking about?

I know most of these aren't really "dobro" tunes but they are good singing songs.  I feel like singing. I f you'd like to post about any other topic for the meetings, please do.

Thanks Ron. I guess that's two keepers from me then.

Hi Dennis
High on a Mountaintop and Angeline Baker seem like good choices (I'll have to finish learning them in the meantime). Maybe something like Jerulsalem Ridge would be good also as an instrumental. (Never learned it, but it's time to do so.)

Jack
