Chiff and Fipple Forums

1/17/06 Tony Higgins posts a lot of slides. Weekender emailed me the notes for some slide sets he wants to play at the next Chiff gathering. So, I learned them, beat them into the ground over the past few days and recorded them all yesterday. In the order of the sheets: Maidhc Dainnin O Se's Slide, An Bothar o Thuaidh go Tra Li, The House Party, Padraig O'Keefe's Slide (I think that comprises a long set.) Next, Casey's Slide, Cathleen Hehir's, Denny Mescall's (I did my own version, slightly different than the printed version), Brosna Slide, Dan O'Keefe's Slide (a second set, I believe). Sure, I should have waited until I knew them better, but that's never stopped me before. (saved in misc) If you'd like pdf files of the notes, email me. Tony (Hope you like slides.

I have a different name for the Brosna Slide. I know it as " the trip to the jacks" which I heard on a recording by Jackie Daly (solo)

Cheers

What are 'jacks?'

toilets.

That's what I thought. I've seen it spelled 'jakes' and guessed it was related.

The one posted as Padraig O'Keefe's Slide is the same one I posted as Buddy Finn's Slide earlier, although I play it ridiculously too fast of course.
