Jam tunes
Many of the tunes we play are in Calvin Cairns’ Conservatory Fiddle Tunes Red, Green or Blue Books. We sell the books at the Jams for $20 each (without CD), or you can get them at Tapestry Music or Long & McQuade.
We also have colour-coded indexes of the books, available at no charge. One index has the Red & Green Book tunes and the other one has the Red, Green & Blue Book tunes, or you can download the indexes by clicking on the underlined links.
