Unfaithful to C#
« on: April 20, 2009, 10:10:43 AM »
Has anybody got the abc to Tiger Rag?  :o I'm trying to learn it, but although I've got the main themes  :||: , I can't remember all the "joining bits". Much gratitude is available!  (:)

No, I'm afraid they are two different tunes. Chinese Breakdown is in the folk tradition, whereas Tiger Rag came out of New Orleans in the 'teens of the 20th Century, being first recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band in (from memory) either 1918 or 1917. It's a jazz standard - Johnny Handle has recorded a version on piano and most Trad Jazz Bands played it at one time or another. Thanks for trying though - I appreciate it.

I ought to have given more information with my first request, I think, but I was so astounded at getting nothing from JC's Tune finder  :o , that I scuttered (nice word that, I wonder what it means?) here for protection against the cruel world, to a place where men are real men, where women are real women and small furry creatures from the Crab Nebula are real small furry creatures from the Crab Nebula (Copyright, Estate of the late Saint Douglas Adams) - ie to the site where people are not afraid to admit that they like playing jazz on the D/G!!  :||:

1) jb - Yes indeed, I sit (very) corrrected! In my arrogance, I hadn't been able to imagine two tunes sharing a name. I do apologise.

2) Lester : Thank you. This is part of what I am looking for. With what I have I think I can reconstruct the full work now, especially if I consult Mr Morton's theory of how it came to be put together.

Thank you all again.

Chris.

Does anyone have any other melodeon-friendly ragtime tunes they can recommend?

The last one was written for Roger Watson and as my memory recalls uses every button on 2 row D/G.

The bishop of chesters jig can be played as the b o c's rag. I play it on the anglo, but I am sure somebody recorded it on the melodeon years ago. Might have been Pete and Chris Coe.

Tony Hall plays a modified ("The proper third part was too difficult for me so I bluffed it!") Minneola Rag on his latest cd. Not sure whether that implies that it's 'melodeon-friendly' though.

that reminded me of Russ Conway, I have played "sidesaddle" at sessions once of twice, but have the usual trouble remembering it - anyone got the notes or ABC for it?  It really dgoes well on a melodeon i seem to recall. Not sure it really ragtime though - probably not.

Ps Sorry to hijack the thread.
