I did play my fiddle out a bit more this year than I did last year and I learned a few new tunes (which can be transferred to harp eventually), I was most excited by learning a couple tunes from fiddler James Devitt, one of the senior members of the Kilfenora Ceili Band. He taught Tell Her I Am and Humours of Ennistymon as well as The Red Haired Lass. The third one I don't really have yet.
Oh, Lucy--I found the Junior Crehan book in the music shop in Doolin.
I just remembered that you asked me to post what tunes we did, Pam--I will try and get to that by tomorrow.
Wonderful that you found the Crehan book!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of you two, it's wonderful, and I like the Phillies hat especially.
One of my posse made us all learn Tell Her I Am and we played it like mad for awhile, but now it's gone out of favor. C'tina, though, not harp.
One of my mad dreams is coming to Boghill the same time you are there some year. Sigh.
If you ever go to Boghill it'd BETTER be when we're there!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider anything else, believe you me!
