05/18/05 Welcome to Martin Milner, who writes, "With Gary Kelly acting as sound engineer, we put together this traditional English Tune, The Sheepshearers, on Sunday evening. The recording features Martin Milner playing melody, harmony and bass accompaniment." (saved in non-w)
John Wiering sends, "I haven't been playing flute for a long time, but since lately I have some new material. This one is called 'Melchizedeks Wonder'. I used a D low whistle (hand made by Asarkar from India, bought it on Ebay) and a mandolin, which I also use as a percussion instrument. More to come soon!" (saved in misc)
Tony Higgins posts the hornpipe, Johnny Cope. Thanks to Brother Steve's site for the transcription. (I had been beating my brains out transcribing Mick O'Brien's version from his May Morning Dew cd.) These transcriptions with the ornamentation written in are helpful in showing places one might not normally think of ornamenting in terms of effecting the rhythm. http://www.rogermillington.com/tunetoc/index.html (Look under Margaret Barry)
