Emily @ELCBK , I play this in the old timey style.  Love the possibilities for variation and the ability to grow with it.

Find yourself the You Tube video of Berklee (yes, spelled that way in MA) College of Music’s Cluck Old Hen Project. Really great to watch!

@Unfretted -

Sorry, I missed your post - really glad to find out someone has played this!  

a Party?  (hint, hint)

The "Berklee Commencement Concert: Cluck Old Hen" is a GREAT video - lots of fun! 

 

 

Do you ever take turns (like mentioned in my 2nd post) with others - playing the chords, then melody & singing? 

 

...this tune always puts a smile on my face!

Emily @ELCBK,

The only party I’ll be having in the near term is a big celebration when I get rid of this ipad, which is close to unusable ever since the os update.  I can’t video or upload a party until then. Wish I could.  

Glad you found the Berklee Commencement performance!  I didn’t mean to be rude by not searching out the link and posting it, but again my internet experience is impaired right now.  It really is so great to watch! Fun and inspiring!

You asked do I sing it? 😅😂🤣🎶 No way! Sadly, a decent singing voice is not a gift I have, but have longed for all my life. Yes, I do play this tune with others, and I play melody with slides and sometimes get a little quirky ( on guitar, too). Right now, I’m working on chorded double stops bowed as fiddle backup, and can’t wait to add that dimension to this tune.

I always enjoy your contributions and unbounded enthusiasm in this forum! 😊
