Anybody know the name of this tune?

Hello, Chiffers. I try to stop in here at least every five years or so, and I'm about due.

Anybody know the name of this tune? If I can't find it, I'll have to write it out for our fiddle player, and who has the time?

Re: A few bodhran questions

So, is there a big advantage (soundwise or otherwise) to the really deep drums? They seem to be very popular these days, and I'm wondering why.

A few bodhran questions

Hi, everybody. Haven't been around here for a long time. I see that the rubber room has gone away...the toxic waste cleanup must have cost a fortune. And I'm glad that the musical hybrid and flange/hummus forums are still going strong. Anyway. I've given up trying to re-head my old Halpin tunable bo...

Re: Bodhran skin

Thanks, Simon. It's the tunability, I think, that makes it different. It really does have a wonderful tone, or did before the skin started to tear loose. What you described sounds right--it's a white goatskin. It seems a bit harder than glove leather, but of course it's stretched, and I've never oil...

Bodhran skin

Hi, everybody. Can't remember the last time I was on the ol' chiffboard--how's everybody? Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but seems about as close as I can get. I have a tunable bodhran by the Late, Great Fred Halpin, in need of a new skin. The skin on this drum is tanned, definitely...

I'm pretty sure Bill Ochs tinwhistle tutorial doesn't have any songs in it. It only has tunes.

Ah, thank you. I was scared to death we were going to get through an entire thread without anyone correcting that. :D

Re: the tail-end of long notes

Interesting point. It is always the struggle with we who have adopted the tradition rather than being born into it. Our playing is always our craft, not our native tongue. People who are born with it sound...different. But I suppose we've had that conversation before. I think "The Pretentious G...

the tail-end of long notes

I finally got Joanie Madden's "Song" v. 1 a couple months ago, and if it were possible to wear out a CD I probably would have by now. Her ornamentation and phrasing are brilliant of course, but I am particularly fascinated, at the moment, by how she ends notes. I think it's a combination o...
