Footnotes:
*Also in NEFR, but without the nice bm chords. Melody seems to be the same.
** As in P1, the tune with not so many notes. Not the tune of the same name in NEFR.
*** Transcription of Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss: https://www.mandolessons.com/lessons/fiddle-tunes/fly-around-my-pretty-little-miss This version is very close to what Rebecca plays, except without the syncopation that she uses.  
**** notation for Dancing Bear: http://john-chambers.us/~jc/tmp/Tune-79833-Dancing_Bear_The_11.pdf
***** notation for Burnt the Rice: https://northberkshiredance.org/tune-list/tune-files-for-11-11-2023-open-band/

Source Notes: Most of these tunes can be found in common repertoire books, the titles of which we have abbreviated as:
NEFR refers to The New England Fiddler’s Repertoire
P1, P2, and P3 refer to The Portland Collection volumes 1, 2 and 3, respectively
