A Tune A Week

All right - I’ll shut up about the excellent minidisc player for a while, I guess. Here’s a nice jig in D, with plenty of spots for me to play with cuts and such.

Or Paddy O’Brien’s. Half a century in the first month of the new year! Minidisc, minidisc… this gadget is very handy. I am using the slow-down feature again - it’ll go from recorded speed all the way down to half in six steps without changing pitch. There are just some digital resampling artifacts to contend with. They are a moderate problem with flutes and a small problem with pipes.

A slip jig from the same session as Boys of the Town. Both of them were pretty easy to pick up - they use bits and pieces that are pretty familiar to me already, I guess.

Update, 21 Nov. 2006: I had this one under “Ryan’s.”

Or “The Regent.” Grabbed it with my super-handy minidisc recorder last weekend. And now I am back into the Tune Groove.
