STILL playing The Last Shot GOt Him.. This tune is kicking my rear end..

farmerjones, cool and bluesy! With bass sounding good in there!

Thanks Peggy, vertigo improving - can stand/walk today ok, but bending and turning still makes me feel sick. I watched some videos of the Epley maneuver and will try to learn (thank you, person who messaged me! :-)

One of my favorites.

Nice playing, farmer Jones...nice recording...I always feel like I've been to Louisiana when I hear you play...lol...how do I know I feel that way...I've never been there but it just seems like Louisiana unmistakably to me. Very nice.

Is there a reason I haven't heard about why people don't seem to be using the Sound off forum much? I mean, more people might check it out on there. I still feel confused as to what I missed about sharing music on here ... feel a little intimidated that I could accidentally be doing something that just ain't right no more here...that is, IF I ever get something recorded and a YouTube made.

Anyway...just curious...anybody know why the sound off forum has been kinda not as much used as it was a few years back? Or am I just crazy...well yeah, probably, but this ain't a normal part of my regular crazy.

NC, glad you are feeling better. I knew people who used that maneuver and I think sometimes it did help. My dad went to a chiropractor/accupuncture guy finally for his, when he was in his 90s, and his got a lot better while he was seeing that guy, but it was expensive.

My Uncle explained the inner ear has a sort of 'level' within it. Sometimes crystals can form in it. He said the Bernoli maneuver helped to dislodge the crystals and restore equilibrium. Done wrong it can make things worse!

I've been an oceanic traveler for many years and never got sea-sick. But it eventually did happen. This is another kind of inner ear problem. I wish you all the Best!

I've got Raleigh and Spencer down for now...Onto Cattle in the Cane and Dusty Miller. Always love to fall into Am anywhere in a tune.

Am really rocks. Love to hear you play those tunes!

Yesterday was enjoying A tunes with an occasional D,G tune:
John Booker, Scott No. 1, Big John McNeil, Miller's Reel, John Sharp's, Karen's Reel, Macklimoyle Reel

Forgot Julianne Flanagan.

Is that the name of the tune, or you used to play “Julianne Flanagan” and forgot it? SOrry for a stupid question! :-D

PRepping for somebody’s “retirement celebration sesh” this weekend, pre-making a few sets. GOnna try Dusty Windowsills / Humors of Ballyloughlin just cuz I’ve been into playing them lately.

For fiddle class, learning a tough reel called “Moving Cloud”…we play it in key of F. SHe said, don’t shift to get the B-flat, it creates intonation issues. ( That made me think of the other thread…so now we have official weigh-in from a teacher/pro player on that…no half-position needed! )

Moving cloud in F sounds interesting I’m going to have to try that! I’ve always played it in G. A powerful high energy tune for sure.

I think another FHO member about has me convinced that it's high time I get to fiddling on Betty Baker...just not sure which Betty Baker I'm goin' for...there's a lot of 'em.

Make up your own version, maybe do it in 6/8 instead. 

Willow Creek

A gig yesterday, and a jam tomorrow. I'm taking a break today.

This morning it was...Cattle In The Cane

JUst listened to Punch Brothers version…wow that’s a gorgeous tune.

Over here, Irish Reels: McDonagh’s (so awesome!!) and Green Groves of Erin (of Bothy Band fame)

I dunno how, but somehow all the small ‘invite-only’ sessions got lined up in one weekend so I have Fri night, Sat afternoon and Sun afternoon? I guess it makes up for lying in the couch with vertigo and missing everything last time. The roller coaster of life…things can go up and down so quickly…hang on, everybody!

I've been looking at some old Scottish and Irish tunes - "The Corporal" and "The Oyster Wives Rant," ancestors of "Squirrel Hunting" from the 1780's Aird Collections, and a couple "Hauling Home" tunes from Joyce's "Old Irish Folk Music" also mentioned by Samuel Bayard. And "The Frost is All Over," also from Joyce, but a hornpipe, not the jig also known as "Kitty Lie Over."
I want to record these as soon as I find a fiddle. I know there are several around here, but they're small and easily misplaced. The weather's too nice right now for indoor activities anyway.
