To those of you grumblers, criticism is welcome, but so is a little kindness... is it at all possible to combine the two? Eh?
Besides, both piping forums have already claimed surliness...

Thank you Joseph. I'm sure all the grumblers in this forum are brilliant and talented musicians who can tell by years of experience in excellence that they have the competence to judge what is allowed in Celtic folk music and what is not.
So..I feel humble and fortunate not to have been banned from the forum straight away
Am flying to Sweden tomorrow for a hopefully great night and look forward to seeing what more is in store for me here when I get back in two days(am already thinking of selling my instruments and spending the rest of my days doing something else
)
Cheers

Yes. One wonders some days, doesn't one. There would always be the option of not posting at all.Joseph E. Smith wrote:Welcome to the boards Bow T's... I am sorry your arrival here had to be under such scrutiny.

Well, look. What did you expect? The non-UP forum is already awash in silicone tubing, plastic funnels and water canisters, pleather upholstery fabric, and hookahs.Joseph E. Smith wrote:Besides, both piping forums have already claimed surliness...

I was thinking more as a thought exercise, really...what would the me 10 years in the future say to the me now? What would he encourage and still like? What would he try to get me to hear that I'm not hearing now? Or maybe he'd find a looseness and abandon that he's lost a bit. Would he want me to worry about the occasional squawk or wrong note in a recording? Or would he want me to focus on something more intangible?guest wrote:Well, if I'm still alive in 10 years I'm probably going to dislike my current stuff.

Who could forget lyrics like: "So what's the story Martin Storey?"
For the benefit all those who are interested (and the rest of ye who aren't but should be), a song called "Dancing at the Crossroads" co-written by Brendan Wade in a homage to the Wexford hurling team went to No. 1 in the Irish charts in September 1996, just in time for Wexford's first All-Ireland championship win in 28 years.

Any chance of "guest" either being a proper member of the board or buggering off? Either will do me. "Guest" is not good.

He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high

I am the lord of the dance, said he!

And another thing.........
[rant]The Bow Triplets appear to focus on playing music from the 'Celtic' genre which has a really big following in the European festival scene. Although it is not really 'my thing', at first listening they sound like they do what they do better than the vast majority of bands of that genre. It is somewhat unfair to critique if this genre is not really what you are into and it is unfair to hold the playing to the same standards as one would a traditional recording released for the ITM enthusiast. It should also be remembered that the topic of the music of the band was raised by a C&F board member who liked it, rather than by a band member trying to promote themselves.[/rant]
Note: the above rant applies only to bands with members from Wexford. Other bands are fair game.
