Re: Tunes in F

scott playboy special is usually played in f

some songs traditionally change to f in the middle somewhere

in creole/zydeco
why you wanna make me cry [and a million variants]
motordude special
[though it i think is played on a 3 row because it
also changes to a 2nd key that you are also supposed
to play in 3rd position]

17.Lawtell Waltz,
18.My Little Girl(waltz),
and many others that I can't remember right now.

...

I've made couple songs with the "b" part in F.

F is a great way to spice up a "b" part in a song in the key of D Minor or even G.

Re: Re: Tunes in F

That's a great list, it gives me something to aspire to , so far I only know the Mardi Gras jig and the Louisiana Waltz as played by Aldus Roger. And, thanks for help with lyrics. Gros Merci et bonne chance ce soir au Liberty, Je vas etre à l'écoute.
