Starting Tune a weekish project.

Hey look it's a New Year. I'm going to try and do a thing that I won't keep up with, so to keep a record here it is.

I'm going to go ahead and learn a tune a week and report on that process here. For all the internet to judge. Cause why not. So at last count i've got a stupid number of tune books with about eleventy billion tunes in them, even more instructional videos, countless recordings and all of youtube as sources. The issue won't be a lack of material.

So for the inaugural tune, being Jaunary 10th. Seems like a good time to learn January 8th. Also known as the Battle of New Orleans apparently it's celebrating that shitbag Andrew Jackson's victory over the British. The tune probably pre-dates those events, and its a good tune, so I'll go ahead and learn it.

So here's some of the sources I seem to have:

Tractor Tavern Fiddle Tune Book
Benton Flippen - Old Time New Times
John Hoffman and Mac Benford - It's About Time
Josh Turknett
The Milliner Koken book only has 7 variations of it.

So I'm gonna try an learn a version from John Lusk here's some sound of something like it from the Youtubes
