Another one in A (obviously there are hundreds) which works well _before_ Calliope House is the Northumbrian jig The Roman Wall, a version of The Eavesdropper. A young fiddler I accompany picked it up at the Folkworks Summer School from Peter Tickell (he'd learnt it from one of my books, The Morpeth Rant, not currently in print).
Back to Calliope House - it really is a great tune, Dave Richardson must be very pleased with it. I devised an accompaniment on guitar in standard tuning which sounds like open tuning if you let the Es and B ring and do most of the fingering on the other strings. The chords are the same for both strains, 1 line per bar (I can't abc, sorry): E B/E - E F#m - E/G# A E - E/D# E/C# - E/B A(maj7) - E/G# F#m7 E B/E - E F#m - E/G# A E - E/D# E/C# - E/B A(maj7) - A/B E Cheers Matt Seattle Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
