"The Fiddler's Fakebook" provides anyone who can read music with a long needed, unique source of repertoire. Gathered together in one volume are the most-played, most-requested, most useful tunes from the full complement of regional and national styles. Included in the nearly 500 tunes are jigs, reels, and hornpipes from the British Isles and the US; Old-Time breakdowns and rags; marches and strathspeys from Scotland and Nova Scotia/Cape Breton; Texas Style and Western Swing tunes; New England contra dances; and much more.
The exhaustive discography is indexed by tune, allowing you to locate a recorded source for any tune in the book. Also, there is a select discography of suggested listening in each genre. The enormous wealth of material in this book makes it more than a reference book to be left on the shelf. You will find it helpful in any playing situation, from a square dance to an informal gathering of friends. Most importantly, you can have a great deal of fun just sitting down and playing through these remarkable monuments to the traditional musician's art.
