12/2/02 Teri back on her "old beat up C" playing The Flogging Reel. And I finally got around to recording, myself. The Humours of Tullycrine, I got from Calan Bridge by the Valleleys. It's played as a slow reel. (Note: I recorded on a Sony minidisc player with an old condensor mic and transferred via analog line in to sound card. Undiscernable loss of sound reproduction, as far as I can tell (which is what qualifies it as undiscernable -or is it indiscernable?)

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you play The Humours of Tullycrine on your Reyburn low D Tony, thanks for posting it.
Regards,
Gary Humphrey

And thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it. 
The challenge for me with this one is to work out some phrasing. This has been a long range project for me and I recognize I still have a ways to go. I make very little distinction between ornamentation and phrasing. They support each other totally. I'm happier w/ the phrasing I worked out on this tune than I've been with my past efforts at posts, but I'm still critiquing and trying to figure out how to improve on it. The tune itself is an easy one to play. I'd say this is where native players have an edge on us outsiders. Hearing and innately knowing how to phrase properly from constant exposure would make this job a whole lot easier. I've been listening to recordings for years and I hear what's going on, but implementing the concept is no joke.

Tony, nice piece, good job. The tune is a hornpipe beloved of the older Clare players. I heard Michael Tubridy saying it was part of the small local repertoire of tunes used for dancing where he grew up.On 2002-12-02 21:08, TonyHiggins wrote:

As for your English question, according to my dictionary "discernable" is a rare variant spelling of the usual "discernible". But I'd be tempted to write "there is no discernible loss of reproduction quality." Saying that there _is_ an undiscernible something seems an odd way of going about it, don't you think - a bit like "staying away in droves."
Your resident pedant,

I thought I read hornpipe on the liner notes, but I didn't look carefully when I was posting. The Vallely's certainly didn't play it as one. (In my head, it sounds a bit goofy as a hornpipe.)
Steve, thank you for deobfuscating my grammatical faux pax. I'm always desirous of clarity irregardless of the topic. I've always liked the phrase 'stayed away in droves,' however. I also like the admonition, "Follow me, I'm right behind you."
