sharing tunes
i've been in a rut with the same sort of session tunes. Does anyone feel like sharing some titles of reels, jigs or airs that arent commonly played at music sessions. I know whats "common" may not be for others but im looking for tunes to learn that aren't bread and butter ones.

Here's a couple that I've picked up recently that I think are great tunes.
Dowd's #9
The Galway Rambler (great flute reel)
One of my favorite jigs that's not often played (around here anyway):
Scarce O'Tatties (I like to put this in front of Banish Misfortune).
There's a bunch of great tunes in Vince Broderick's "Traditional Irish Flute Solos" (also on "The Turoe Stone) too. Also check out John Skelton's A Few Tunes and A Few More Tunes. There's HEAPS of great tunes in those.

Nae bother
If it’s “obscure” tunes you want, here are some tunes which I’ve posted at “The Session.org”. None have been commercially recorded, as far as I know. I know nothing at all about them or their origins, and have named the first 3 reels after the players whom I recorded playing them. If anyone recognises them, I would appreciate any information about them.

Here are a few “Gan Ainm”s as well :

We have one in our local tunebook that doesn't get played much
at session. It's called the Colerane Jig, and it almost sounds like
Klezmer instead of ITM, but it is apparantly Irish trad...
http://thesession.org/tunes/display/17
It is good practice for half-holing the G#. You can slide up from
the E to the Fnat in the B part, which makes that half-hole easier.
Another is a neat Adorian tune someone trotted out at a recent
learning session. No one else had heard of it. It's called "Cold
Frosty Morning", and it sounds rather gypsy-ish (especially
when played on a button box and a fiddle)

'Coleraine' is a common tune in New England, and is included in the popular "New England Fiddler's Repertory" book. It's played at contras regularly.
'Cold Frosty Morning' is commonly played in old-time (stringband) music.
I believe both have Irish roots.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Faeries Hornpipe is nice--I found it in O'Neill's
Also, I'm not sure if a lot of sessions play Monaghan Jog, but it's one of my favorites.
One of our session's favorite sets is Red Haired Boy, Reconciliation, Star of Munster, all reels.

Here´s a nice strathspey I transcribed back in 1983. It´s from an old LP, "I love Scotland", from the 1960-ies with Rob Gordon (accordion). I wasn´t that sure about the strathspey rhythm then (and how it´s usually notated), so it´s notated rather "straight". I hope you´ll like it!

You really need to disable the smilies when posting abc notation. That'll take care of the "Big Grin".falkbeer wrote:For some curious reason the Chiff and Fipples editor coded the key of second tune Willie brewed a peck of malt" as "Big Grin". It should be "K:D" D major.

9 gigs of acapella mp3's.
It's not my 'thing' exactly, but somebody might like it.
No whistles
How could they

- Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.

I heard this set and fell in love with it.
