3/22/02 Greg Mahan (Wandering Whistler) sends a jig, Dusty Windowsill. Peter Laban sends in a reel, Ambrose Maloney. He writes, "The tune is Ambrose Moloney's, a reel I learned from Brid Donohue a few weeks ago. Brid in her turn learned it from JC Talty. JC is a flute and whistleplayer from Caherrush, Quilty. For 25 years he played the flute in the Tulla ceili band. In his seventies now, he doesn't play in public much these days but some time ago we played some tunes in my kitchen and that was a real treat. It's a nice simple reel very suitable for a legato style of playing. I play it single here but maybe it's better with the repeats in place."

Tony,

I can't play Peter Laban's files (Ambrose, and the Sheep one). I've tried re-downloading them, to no avail. I've no problems with the other C&S files. It would appear from my Windows Explorer that for Ambrose Maloney, a substantially-sized file of about 738 kb is downloaded, but it doesn't seem activated by WInamp, for whatever reason.

I just compressed the two files to smaller size and reuploaded them. This should work. Every time I break my own rule and don't do that, this happens.

Will some kind soul please shoot me and put me out of my misery? But wait, that would be a mortal sin. Just smack me on the back of the head with a rolled up newspaper.

(Peter, you sound just like my dear old dad, rest his soul.)
