Rowdy Creek String Band

    TUNES LIST

This site is a tune library for an amateur group whose members include musicians from the coastal counties of Curry and Del Norte which straddle the California-Oregon border. The group's performance name is the Rowdy Creek String Band. The webpage name of Younkers Creek refers to the private residence situated above the creek where the group first convened. All tunes and audio files are for the non-commercial use by the group's members.

Rehearsals are held every Thursday, 10-12 am at the Chetco Community Library in Brookings. These are open rehearsals and all acoustic string players are welcome.

Instructions: following each tune title there are clickable links for the each tune's sheet music (JPG, PDF, or BMP) followed by links -- if any -- for audio (mp3 or midi), if available.

Please Note: While many of us belong to the Old Time Fiddlers the purpose of our group is to become proficient at playing a set number of tunes. While we will play other tunes that guests may request, please keep in mind that this is a rehearsal and not an OOTF-style jam session.

Also, group members who wish to introduce a new tune are expected to be able to play it well before introducing it to the group AND need to bring a sufficient number of photocopies to share with the group.
