JimLucas Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 As a fan of ABC I just note down the tune name and the first half a dozen notes... So I wondered, how many tunes are there where the ABC of the first several notes is the name? None that I know of, so I wrote one -- titled "Cabbage" -- and I put it in the Tune-O-Tron. It seems like there's a real opportunity here to create a whole new genre of tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbowers Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The wildest 4-note match I know od is between Stephen Foster's "old Black Joe" and Ipolitov-Ivanov's "Procession of the Tsardir" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Aged cabbage"? Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This slip jig can be found in the Tune-O-Tron Who's next ?? Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lester Bailey Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Jim's and David's tunes make a nice set, but can't decide whether I want to play a Cabbage Baggage or a Baggage Cabbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Mills Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 OK, I've been motivated to write one whose entire lyrics are in abc free verse, although the title, Bad Trip, is not. X: 1 T: Bad Trip M: 9/8 L: 1/8 R: slip jig K: Am |Baggage|ACE cab|fad cafe|aged beef|cabbage|add egg|fed face| |beg decaff|bad beef|gaffe gag|bed fade| |cede deed|ebb dead|GAD ABBA I'm not posting this to the Tune-O-Tron, as it is completely devoid of musical value, unlike prior postings. I'm really very sorry about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
