Marching Down from Broadway with Marc Janssen. This is a tune Marc learned from Al Murphy, whose music we’ll be celebrating at the Happy Hour jam on Saturday, April 18.

AJ Srubas gives us Uncle Herm’s Tune from Gene Goforth by way of Al Murphy. This is one of the tunes we’ll play on Saturday at the Happy Hour Jam.

Fox Family Reel with Ruby John! Maybe from Andy Dejarlis, or John Arcand. Either way, definitely a Métis tune.

Silver Lake Polka in two keys with Lindsay McCaw and Joel Jackson (and a little cat friend). From Jesse Downs, one of last year’s Twin Town artists. Jesse says he learned it at a session in Duluth as a youngin.

Scrivner and the Bold Characters (David Scrivner, Emily Boldman, Hawkin Boldman, Mason Herbold) teach us this tune from Ozark's fiddler Bob Holt, via Doc Brown, via a nightmare in a buggy!

Joe Z Johnson gives us Shove that Pigs Foot Further in the Fire. [Editors note: per the Traditional Tune Archive, the first known recording of this tune is from North Carolina fiddler Marcus Martin.]

This is one of Mike Sawyer's contributions, though he does not appear in this video :) This tune is from the Upper Midwest Folk Fiddler Tunebook, Volume 1, page 61. The annotation says it is from Viola Lee, and it "came from a blind piano tuner who used to come by the house when Viola was little."

This is another contribution from Mike Sawyer, though he again does not appear in the video :) This is also from the Upper Midwest Folk Fiddlers Tunebook, Volume 1, page 59. This tune is from Minnesota fiddler Elmo Wick. Per the annotation, Elmo got this polka from his father, Andrew, and he notes that it was from Norwegian immigrants who came to MN in the 1860s.
