May be 'old news' to some, but for those who've not heard it yet;

...so- how long before the departed get the "Morgan Freeman treatment" and we start seeing 'new' videos surfacing of never-happened performances?

Thanks for the clarification. It's an interesting question, but again I wonder if comparison is equal - complexity of the vocal resonance chamber combined with almost infinite individual variations suggests to me that changes there would be more akin to adding chambering and additional holes to a ch...

Is a direct comparison actually valid? A rush in a bore would be acting on the freedom of the air molecules to move about, post the sound generation device (i.e. reed) whereas changing the shape of the mouth (let's use oboe as example) is a change to the resonance chamber pre sound generation device...

If you look closely at his set with the Taylor folded bass reg. you can see the key just up from the pivot block of the standard D key on the baritone - that would have to be the additional 'E'. So yeh, kind of squeezed in there, and one imagines that using it would require a pretty deft hand (he is...

Specifically the baritone? As opposed to lengthening the tenor to get an E on?

Fuller version of the documentary of Rowsome in 1963 - https://www.rte.ie/archives/2023/0213/1 ... ipe-maker/

Some interesting observations regarding his approach to things, in this - unless (like the bow tie and deliberately placed tusk) the session was performative.

And, what was that chanter length, for interests sake?
5 apples? or 5 and 1/2?

In relation to D set volume, it's of potential interest to note that the Reid 1936 set as played by O'Flynn had "narrow bore" drones as part of its design spec.
That may speak volumes (no pun) about what Sean Reids view was.

Ah, I thought it was Gorman on fiddle, and that the photo was taken by Brian Shuel at the Keele Folk Festival, 1965. Wonder where and when this photo with Lynskey was taken. In London prehaps? Lancashire, I suspect. FWIW, interesting to hear FD himself talk about the Lammas fair - https://www.youtu...

Reference?

The photo I linked is of FD with Eddie (‘Sonny’) Lynskey, 1914-1972.

...and of course the equipment used by different levels - the sort of "box brownie versus a Leica IIIa with a Summar or Summitar" thing. That sort of quality was available pre-war obviously, so the photo in question is probably a reflection on both the shooter and his gear, regardless of y...

The meta data for the photo is understood - but of course has the potential for error. "Lammas Fair" - sure, the building location seems certain, and the idea of it being fair-day seems obvious for someone busking for money. "Pickow" and "c1955" might be a little more u...

[Thread revival. - Mod] The original uncropped photo shows that the building in the background is in fact the "Antrim Arms" hotel. On the corner of Castle St. Ballycastle, and just across from the "The Diamond". Suitable open place for the street fair and for busking. The sign o...
