Name: Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part Type: Jig Key: G Major Level: Beginner/Intermediate Music: thesession.org/tunes/1154 Tabs: click here Elise Kress is back with another tune for us! "I first learned this tune from the delightful CD Happy to Meet by P.J. Crotty, Carol Cullinan and James Cullinan," she says. "It's a CD I play often, filled with lovely tunes. I've not heard this tune played around [the DC area] much, but I'm hoping to change that! I'm attaching a beautiful version by Frankie Gavin, Joe Derrane and Carl Hession. And what a great name: Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part." Indeed 'tis! So let's first give a listen to this version of the tune, the first in the set of this recording: Slowed down for learning Let's learn the tune together. It follows a familiar A-B pattern.

Taking a quick break while I find some more folks to teach tunes. If you or someone you know would like to teach a tune, please go to the "Submit a Tune" link at the top of this page to do it. The instructions and guidelines are all right there. Meanwhile I'm learning a few more tunes myself so I can teach them in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!--Dan
Before we begin...Before we get started this week, I wanted to send out an appeal to teach us a tune. If you've got a favorite tune, or you know a good teacher or good amateur player in any melody instrument, I encourage you to submit a tune! It's really easy to do, and then you'll be famous. Or famouser. And you'll have the satisfaction of having given back to the community, which is always a great feeling. Trust me. And now: Name: The Reel of Rio Type: Reel (surprise!) Key: G Major Level: Intermediate Music: thesession.org/tunes/575 Tabs: click here Elise Kress is back this week to teach us The Reel of Rio. "I don't have anything brilliant to say about it," says Elise. "It's just a great reel to play." That's good enough for us, Elise! Let's give it a listen. I found this recording of Dylan Foley and John Whelan rocking (reeling?) out the tune here. This is what music is all about: the pure joy of playing and sharing. It doesn't get much more fun than this. Slowed down for learning

Name: O’Donnell’s Type: Hornpipe Key: G Major Level: Intermediate/Advanced Music: https://thesession.org/tunes/7139 Tabs: click here This week we're being treated to a tune taught by Andrew Caden of the Washington, DC, area of the United States. He is a student of Brian Conway, and the 2017 All-Ireland fiddle champion (15 to 18) at the Fleadh Cheoil in Ennis, Co. Clare. O'Donnell's is a hornpipe he learned from button accordion player Billy McComiskey. [Ed. note: There's more talent in that paragraph than one should rightly be able to contain.] So first let's have a listen to Billy's playing. Slowed down for learning
