The third link takes you to a list of tunes with sheet music, click on anyone and be horrified, especially Rocky Road to Dublin, and Down in my Sally's gardens, Kelly the boy from Killany

some are okay but wow some just seem really, are really wrong

Wrong? There's no such thing as wrong with trad music. You are getting a particular version of the tune. While some are close to the version(s) I know, none here are quite the same as my versions of the same tunes.

Once you start comparing the same tunes from several tune books, especially the older collections such as O'Neills's, Joyce's, Roche, etc. you will start to appreciate just how wildly divergent may peoples' versions of the same tunes truly are, as well as the plethora of different names for the same or similar tunes, half tunes, relative tunes, etc.

What I am commenting on is at times instead of going up or down a M2 it instead goes m3 or M3

I think this is the same site I found a while back and happened on a couple of the good ones, recommended it, and then found the ...um... less good ones... ah well... some are worth listening to, some are not... just like any other cross-section of music... or sites.. or people.

Well, the worse musicians I heard are usually in love with this sentence, it gives them a false impression of validation of their music. But I find it very insulting, and clueless, especially when I've been practicing for years now for more than 1-2 hours a day because one day I want to stop playing this music the wrong way...

I was, of course, referring to written scores of trad music. That is, after all, the subject of this thread, and not to what is played, and with no intentions of grading the performance of anyone who plays it. You must be pretty desperate for something to complain about to be reduced to splitting hairs like this.

I'm sure we have some manner of STD that you'd be open to.
