Just Because, you may recognize it from Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley.

Eli Greene / Woodchopper's Reel: a cakewalk and a fiddle tune, as a medley.

Chinatown My Chinatown, a 1910 jazz standard predating swing and most (?) of us.
2 French Bourrées. The first one simply known as Bourrée (ha!), the second one named Les Poules Huppées (The Crested Hens); a la sauce western swing.
Sitting On Top Of The World, a very nice bluesy version of that old standard from the 20's or 30's.
Sway. One of the many latin flavored numbers we play. Get that red rose between your teeth and start dancing while this is playing.
Over The Waterfall, an old timey fiddle tune, originally from Britain, where they know something about water falling. Now a staple of bluegrass jams all over.
Take Me Back To Tulsa, made famous by Bob Wills and many others, including us...
2 food related fiddle tunes, Angeline The Baker from the mid 1800s, and Turkey In The Straw, an old time favorite of those roving ice cream trucks (in A, for those keeping score).
Longhorn Stomp, a great foot-tapper from Adolph Hofner, a Texas Western Swing pioneer of Czechoslovakian persuasion. We usually prefer playing than spelling it.
