Here's a revised version of the dots,
prepared to agree more closely with the 2001 class's version of the
tunes. Thanks, Sean!
Some of these tunes are copyrighted by Bob. Please don't
redistribute. Better yet, buy his notebooks when you see him.
I've cobbled these together in a hurry. Please let me
know of any mistakes.

Ideas behind the tunes.
All but one of these tunes was played at one or another of
the Cathie workshops, and at least one tune from each year
I believe. And you'll notice a certain emphasis on Bob McQuillen
tunes. Hopefully you'll find at least a few you've played before;
and a few others you could learn without too much difficulty.
I've produced dots and
MIDI files, and in future possibly violin versions of these tunes.
(I'm also trying to finish my PhD....)
Does anybody want to call? We've got at least a few callers within the
band, but anyone who wants to take a swing at calling should speak up.
Also, there's only one piano, and each of you who played piano
for these workshops should plan on playing a set.
