I am working towards my grand public debut, well at least playing solo in public for a couple of dozen friends sitting around a campfire (summer 2023- I know, I'm a slow learner). I tend to favor gospel and old-time tunes but want to broaden that and come up with a playlist/ fake book of campfire favorites. Is there a book out there? How about some of your favorite camp songs?

Ripton, 

I like your style for camp fire. Maybe add a couple slow Irish tunes like oh Danny boy,  Hector the hero, maybe Jay Unger's lover waltz, blue river waltz.

This one.. look for the mandolin version if playing fiddle

I believe I actually posted the link way back in 2014 when I first discovered it, and someone actually had the cheek to suggest it was the lassie playing that caught my attention - trust me - it was ALL about the ROCK E-VIOLIN - bring it on, any time you like!!!!!

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

@BillyG -

Apologies up front - this isn't going to help Ripton in any way, shape, or form... and I was going to just let this go, but... (lol)

LOL @ELCBK - both are awesome - still prefer the solid-rock-ev by Jo A Ram - but that's just me - old rocker...  but aye cool rock-fiddle there nonetheless - no denying it!  Yeah!

( and sorry again Stevie @Ripton - it's the last I'll intrude on your thread till I have something to add to your request!!!! )

@Ripton -

I just ran across some YouTube videos that are 'play-along' support for the "Traditional Music Library"

Here's a HUGE page of 'Summer Camp' and 'Campfire' songs! 

Scroll to the bottom of the page to find sheet music.

Summer Camp & Campfire Song-book with Chords & Lyrics

Rod Smith was the former owner of the "Traditional Music Library".  He has a YouTube site with 'play-along' music videos (synchronized lyrics) to support some of the tunes in the 'Library'!

Here's one of the playlists you might be interested in.

We have a large firepit out back, and I was told the mosquitoes aren't bad this year! 🤗
