Well Michael, I'm told that old John Kelly used to say that he once heard Sean O Riada say that Traditional Music didn't really sound quite right, unless it was slightly out of tune .... so there's hope for us ALL! :-)

Cheers,

Dick

Thanks for that Dick, I've been looking for one to pair up with The Harlequin for a while and both of these look like they have possibilities. I've added several HP's into my list of known tunes since learning that one but non of them ever seemed quite right.

And you've cheered me up - according to your previous comment, my own playing must actually be very traditional !

Sorry Michael, I forgot to post that info with the video.

They're just a bit hurried & there are of course a few bum notes in there, but hey ... that's traditional! :-)

Cheers,

Dick

Cracking pair of HP's - any idea of their names ?

Indeed Connie.

He's very obedient, so when I say sit & stay he doesn't move a muscle until I tell him to move again!

.... just the way children used to be .... i.e. seen but not heard! :-)

Thanks for the lovely hornpipes!  Is that a little black and white American rat terrrier by the fireplace?
