November, 2011 Tune of the Month
This November, 2011 Tune of the Month is one you will all recognize, Sandy Boys, primarily because we already play it in the key of D. This version, however, is in the key of A. Although it's still played in a D-Mixolydian tuning (i.e., Dadd), using a capo at the 4th fret allows transposition of the tune to the key of A, the key that most fiddlers play this tune in. We'll run through it at the November 12th, 2011 Club meeting.
