The files here with names that start with "CJ" (Contra Jig), "CR" (Contra Reel), and "CW" (Contra Waltz) are pages of tune medleys that I keep in binders and sometimes take to dances. They are tunes that I and a lot of people that I know play. The pages are more or less arranged to be good medleys for dances, though of course this is a matter of taste, and I usually mix tunes at random anyway. If you like a medley, grab a copy, because tomorrow I may change it.
You may also want to look in the nearby Ireland, Scotland, England, Quebec, Roaring Jelly and Klez-Contra directories for more material.
| If you don't have ABC software, you might like to try a tool that I'm working on that returns the tunes in various formats: CLICK HERE. This will return the page you're looking at now, but the ABC files will be expanded to show all the tunes, and each tune will have a line of links to return it in a number of different formats. |
