Jackson's Favorite, The Connemara Stockings

mad baloney — Mon, 6 Feb 2012 10:24:00 CST

These two tunes are said to be variations on the reel Ships are Sailing They definitely have some similarities in the second part of both tunes. While the inspiration may have come from that reel, I feel they have grown into their own & I think go well together. I got the first one from the playing of Andy McGann who played it as a single reel (most play it as a double) & I got the Connemara Stockings by osmosis. Jackson was a piper & his tunes are very common in the Co Sligo bag-o-tunes, not sure abot the history of the other one.

Randy Howard — Sat, 4 Feb 2012 07:20:00 CST

Randy Howard was one of the really great fiddle players and passed away way to early. But he left behind wonderful compositions such as this 'Golden Fiddle Waltz'. I love his way with the harmonies. It is an honor and privilege to play his music.

From Rattlesnake Creek practice yesterday. We are experimenting with twin fiddle and mandolin tremolo backup or twin mandolins for some of our songs. So far we've used 5 mandolins to try to balance the sound. Still working on it. Our band is getting ready for our first gig soon & we need to learn to work as a band with mics. Never had so much fun with music:))

Paul Duffy — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:13:00 CST

Will Packett's Horn-Pipe

M-D — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:29:00 CST

Played by Oscar Sherwood Scholes (1891-1984). He was 88 years of age when this recording was made. This is Os's version of Willott's Horn-Pipe, though he called it by the title given, after a neighbour who lived up the road from him. It is played in a manner consistent with how a dance-fiddler from this area would have played it, as all tunes were.

Golden Slippers

fiddlepogo — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:18:00 CST

Golden Slippers- first in G with a bit of singing on the chorus, then in D as a fiddle tune. I often perform this for seniors. Fiddle: "Booker", mics: Heil PR35 top and PR30 below, panned hard right and left. Odd- the mp3 sounds a bit distorted in the low part, didn't in Audacity... weird! (This is the corrected export with both tracks... the left track is the lower mic and is softer, but it's there!)
