I've just relocated to Quebec City and I'm trying to infiltrate one of the local sessions. I was given a tune list to learn and the first one i'm tackling is Reel des sorcires. its very......french.
here's the notation: http://www.mustrad.udenap.org/tounes/TQ041_reel_des_sorcieres.html

I've been passing my time looking for "old time" arrangements of tunes I already know. I am particularly taken by J. P. Fraley's playing and am currently working out something that sounds like his take on Forked Deer.
beenjammin, happened across a CD by Henri Landry, and I have tabbed a few of his arrangements, but none of them sound like the tune you mentioned. I look forward to you making some recommendations or posting some tunes.

Petronella, Ken Perlman's tab (Melodic Clawhammer Banjo). Having a devil of a time with the B section. It's going to take a long, long time. KP writes that it is of Scottish origin and is a popular tune at New England contra dances.

Been going over Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine and correcting some things I got wrong the first time. Back to the drawing board!

Just started working on Jay Bird from John Burke's book. It's fairly straightforward, which makes me think there must be other, trickier arrangements out there. Any other tabs? sound/video files?

Been attempting Rickett's Hornpipe. The basics came faster than expected, but will take some time (oh, a year?) to get down without mistakes or pauses ("I'm lost, where do I go from here?")
I'd like to pick up some of the stuff from the Commando Trad videos (YouTube), especially "La Banqueroute".

Wow, this site hasn't had much traffic in a while!
Oh, well, just to add that I've been working on a version of "Waiting for the Federals/Seneca Square Dance", and trying to work out an almost recognizable "Big Scioto/Sciota/Scioty". Anyone else working on those?

Three Irish clawhammer tunes, just lately: the Providence reel, the Earl's Chair, and the Star of Munster reel. No tabs: I play them on the fiddle, & so clawhammer them by ear.
