Frontier Favorites Violin Duets in First Position and Easy-to-Play Keys: with sing-along lyrics and Guitar/Piano Chords

Need a great collection of old-fashioned American songs for a Fourth of July or Pioneer Day celebration? Here you go.  Great for recitals, get-togethers like family reunions and Senior Centers visits.

Twenty-four beautifully harmonized songs from the American Frontier, arranged to help advancing beginners on violin or fiddle sound great in performance, complete with guitar chord diagrams for a folk-style accompaniment.  

Includes songs from the Civil War era, the California Gold Rush and Pioneer Treks. Play them just as the frontier musicians did - as unaccompanied solos or duets.  Or grab a guitar player - or any other chord instrument - and add to that old-time feel. Perfect for recitals, school programs, or jam sessions, and sing-alongs with fiddle, guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, accordion, dulcimer, auto harp, etc.  You'll love the musical effect you create with this great selection of old-fashioned Americana.
