I'll share a resource : http://quinteirishcanadiansociety.blogspot.com/p/irish-music-sessions.html all of these of course you can find on the session.org The local session (slow & fast) use these tunes. A good mix of people some ear players and some sheet music readers, experienced players and n...

Redwing and Soldier's Joy ... great old time fiddle tunes.
My son has been playing fiddle for a year now, these are 2 standards most fiddle players in North America learn that cross over well on whistle.

The Feadog does have a weak-ish low end - if you want to move up relatively cheaply, I'd strongly suggest a tweaked Generation from Jerry Freeman. If you want to spend more, well, check the classified section here. You can spend almost as much as you want to! To be perfectly honest, there are a lot...

I probably just communicated it poorly. Really ... they are not a tough crowd. It's just that 99% of every new player that fi...

Wow !! Great resource for tunes and songs. Love the folk lore sections as well.

Yes they can read it. I have 3 boys ... 15, 12 and 10. They learned a form of printing that is basically dis-joined cursive .... I do not remember the font name. (Ont. Canada) Keyboarding skills are in the for-front, but funny enough not taught in school. When I was in High school you could take a t...

Analog for me ... but it is very sentimental as well. My Grandfather's wrist watch he got when he retired in 1972, an Omega Automatic Grand Sport Geneve. No batteries, Self winding ... very simple yet smart looking watch that puts a smile on my face when I look at it and I think of him. Past away 2 ...
