tis wot bort me here [ and actually i love this version too pluss i think my neighbours will ......later ....when i explain it was me on the bodhrain at fuk knows a clock in the morning]
Thanks for uploading this piece of music. I like it very, very much! King of the fairies and coleys are some of my favourite tunes. How is the guitar tuned? Is it Dadgad or Eadghe?
Shame can't really hear the guy playing is it the bones? The speedwagon reel imo it's ok to compete with yourself speedwise playing a piece on the fiddle, when you are practising, something like this occurred among a 'set' of musicians in Ireland, and I always recall my Father lamenting the speed competition they seemed to be in. The music loses it's humanity when played too fast, I know, I have speed playing contests with myself on fiddle, but I also comprehend that's not how it should be played. Bluegrass is more suited to this speed playing. You don't see classical musicians speed their way through Bach just to prove how fast they can play it.
Actually it's just a shaker, but thanks for your interest. As far as the speed, sometimes it just happens as the excitement of playing the piece builds. We strive to maintain a steady rhythm, but we are just human...LOL
In the six years since you posted it has got no better. Far too many sessions have degenerated into p1ssing contests ... who can get to the end of a tune first. To play a tune at a nice steady pace is very often more demanding on the player affording for for subtle ornamentation and the injection of character or feeling into a piece, Folks who play regularly for dance will recognize this.
