Pumpkin Moon

[Jim Besser]

Sometimes, when I get tired of the tunes I practice every day, I go back through old CDs and tunebooks, looking for great tunes I missed the first few times through. And Jody Kruskal's fine tunebooks and CDs always provide a wealth of good material.

 

Last week I came across this tune, which I tried a long time ago, liked and promptly forgot about. Big mistake - it's a really fine, driving dance jig. Here's a first try.

Played on a 30 button Jeffries G/D Anglo.

 

The dots can be found in Jody's first tunebook, Feet in the Clouds, full of really fun tunes.

Nice one Jim. Thanks for thinking of me and playing my Halloween tune, even though you are five months late.

 

Back in October 2006, Pumpkin Moon was the first tune I put up on my brand new web site. It's still there!

 

Dots and recording here.

Not late - a good dance tune is appropriate any time of the year.
