record and upload the things, so we can hear em.
 

I dunno, recording seems such a chore, it's never perfect and need to record again and again.

for me, It's time better spent learning/practicing/studying new tunes.

I always have trouble with the first few bars of the last part.

Latest multipart reels…
Lucy Campbells
Spike Island Lasses
Farewell to Ireland

( I would say, they are not totally obscure and people do seem to know them, at least round here...?)

Congrats Marty, that is GREAT that you are heading for the All-Irelands! And, you must be a heckuva mouth harp player. :-)

i usually look on here to find what others are playing, and then check the tunes out on youtube or the session etc. It saves throwing a dart in my O'Neill's book to see what tunes to play.

Had a day playing Farewell to Milltown yesterday. because i found out that it is not the tune i thought it was ...I was thinking of "Return to Milltown" Must get that one out and brush it up also.

Recording them seems to put a full stop on the tune learning process. How ever rough it turns out....Then what you gonna do with it before you delete it?

Out of curiosity I looked up Milltown (Ireland) on maps. The search came up with only 8 places but 3 of them are in county Westmeath not including the nearest town to me Milltownpass. Anyhow I wonder if Return to Milltown and Farewell to Milltown go together?

Since the advent of 300gig thumb drives (usb), I don't delete anything. Well, hardly anything. 

I was quite productive yesterday.

Unbroken Circle

Beware! This ain't.  . . Wait. This is Old Time to me:

Power Trio Blues

and an mp3

Haven't been having too much luck with the fiddle lately, so yesterday I got out an old banjo, which I haven't played in awhile, so I started at the beginning with:
Oh!Susannah
Camptown Races
Old Folks at Home
That banjo has nylon strings, and has never worked too well for clawhammer, but yesterday it seemed better, so I played "Barlow Knife," "Treat My Daughter Kindly," "Georgia Railroad" and "Sunny Home in Dixie."

I did that so often before internets, I could eventually just read the notes and hear what the tune was.

I've found many tunes on facebook, and here.
