This is in D-major, the key they play it in. Now imagine it with 4 fiddles playing melody, four more playint harmony, hammered dulcimer, keyboards, octave mandoin, keyboard, flutes, pennywhistles and me. And you if you eish to play along.

Isn't that a great tune. It's in my list of all-time favorites.

Loose Change & Friends has performed this tune at concerts, usually as a medley with Bonaparte's Retreat (also known as the "What Do We Do With The Drunken Sailor" song) The melody that we learned for Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine is a bit different from your version - to be expected, for folk tunes: Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine/Bonaparte's Retreat http://ezfolk.com/audio/play.php?band_id=245&song_id=1080&mode=song_hifi http://ezfolk.com/audio/play.php?band_id=245&song_id=1080&mode=song_lofi Last edited on Thu Feb 1st, 2007 06:09 pm by Will ____________________ Will http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/297/ Loose Change & Friends http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/245/ http://loosechangeandfriends.com The Earth Tones http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/337/ |

Outstanding! They solved a problem I was wrestling with. I wanted to do BCTR and B'sR as a medley as well, but couldn't connect them in a way I liked. By weaving the Drunken Sailor piece into the middle, the transition was smooth. Well thought out as well as well played. Peter Stempfel a founding member of the Holy Modal Rounders and the Fugs, did a banjo/fiddle solo act in the Village a long time ago. He had a great version of B'sR. He did it slow and very modally, singing the words (albeit, not caring that they were grafted on 100 years after the piece was written). By playing really slow it gives you a chace to play the often by-passed B part with feeling and not make the C part into a "they don't wear pants on the sunny side of France" joke. I posted a version of B'sR early on, but it was on lap dulcimer and I made a hash of the recording so it went away. It may come back as a co-op piece.

Thanks. Bonaparte's Retreat had been played at the recent old timey jams I had attended, and the fiddle version that I heard has an interesting difference in the melody; the "snake charmer tune" ending that we use is played in the middle as the "B" part and is repeated twice.

Haven't played dulcimer in a while. But sort of intersting and there's room for a guitar and and energetic banjo.
