Tune of the Week 2008

Wendy Anthony - Editor

Tune of the Week (TOW) was started in April 1999 as a way of choosing tunes to learn on the mandolin & discussing how to play them with other members of CoMando ListServe. TOW continued from 1999 until 2004, reviving once again in 2007.

Note: Tunes are available as either tef files in Mandozine's TablEdit Archives or as abc files gathered together in one large abc file. Discussions can be searched easily in the CoMandoList archives with Search for: "Tune name" (type/copy/paste in quotation marks) or Subject contains: TOW (add the number).
