Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Hi endaman

I'd try to help, but I can't get through on that link. It says I need to be signed in, but it won't let me sign in.

The second one is Mayor Harrison's Fedora, can't immediately think of the first one although its name is on the tip of my tongue, I just can't get to it, it goes into Bill Harte's reel though ;-)

Thanks, but I don't think it's you; I think it's Google. They have - deliberately, I believe - made their platform incompatible with IE, and my default browser is IE, so I'm stuffed, basically, for Google links. In order to access my own files on Google Drive, I've had to use their absolutely awful "Chrome" browser. But, since that isn't my default, when I click on the links, they just don't work for me.

Never mind. :(

I don't think that's the case, I just checked (I normally wouldn't use IE, I am on Firefox) and I got there perfectly fine.

Tell us something.: Some of my original tunes are displayed at https://thesession.org/members/49476
I play several flutes, many whistles, many guitars, bouzouki, banjo, and own way too many pedals.
I could open a music store if I didn't live in the back woods of Pennsylvania.

Have you tried Tunepal? Though I am a dodgy enough player I often get random results myself, it often works.

Thank you, The Aughacashel does seem to fit. Now time to learn them.

I dunno. Maybe it's a combination of the version of IE that I use ... unless you didn't re-set your default browser to IE? ... with country or something. Anyway, I've had this issue elsewhere, and gone on internet forums about it. I finally managed to phone someone at an official Google helpline, and they told me flat out that they don't bother to make sure anything they run is compatible with IE any more, and suggested I stop using it.

Tune 1 is: The Aughacashel
Tune 2 is: Mayor Harrison's Fedora
