In diesem Skelett spiele ich die Melodie in einfachen, rhythmischen Bogenstrichmustern und auf zwei Saiten mit Drone.
Lars und ich werden diese Stücke im Moderierten Jam / Learners Jam bei Hannover Hoedown spielen.
Außerdem zeige und erkläre ich ein bisschen etwas zu solchen Mustern und dem Spielen auf zwei Saiten im Workshop Fiddle I.
Stimmung: AEAE in 2/4.

Trivia
BREAKING UP CHRISTMAS (See “Old Breaking Up Christmas”). American, Reel (cut time). USA; western North Carolina, western Va. A Major. AEae or DGdg tunings (fiddle). AABB. “A popular tune in the Galax/Meadows of Dan/Mt. Airy triangle,” say Tom Carter and Blanton Owen (1978), who quote 82 yr. old Meadows of Dan fiddler Lawrence Bolt on the origin of the title:
Through this country here, they’d go from house to house almost – have a dance at one house, then go off to the next one the following night and all such as that. The week before Christmas and the week after, that’s when the big time was. About a two-week period, usually winding up about New Year. I wasn’t into any of this, but used to laugh about it. They’d play a tune called BREAKIN’ UP CHRISTMAS, that was the last dance they’d have on Christmas, they’d have Wallace Spanger play BREAKIN’ UP CHRISTMAS. There’s an old feller by the name of Bozwell, he’d cry every time.
Mike Yates (2002) says that the tune is a Galax, Va., area tune, traditionally only played at dances held on January 6th, the date of ‘old Christmas’
