Last Nights Fun Live

Uploaded .

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90’s. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle. Rodger Landes on Bouzouki and Connie Dover on keys. Nothing really special about the first 3 tunes, but I always did like the arrangement we pulled off on the last tune in the set.

When I hear these tracks, I always feel I missed out on some great times. But, having said that, the atmosphere comes through and the music is superb. Long live folk!!

Guest said

I just love the atmosphere these tracks have, such good fun. What a fantastic night out!

Wonderful! I do an Irish duet with a fiddle player every St. Patty's day, and I know how exacting this kind of music can be. When it's this good, it's a pure delight to listen to.

Man, brings back some nice memories (except for Dugger's snoring)...I always thought you guys had some great arrangements. I miss you playing the pipes, I don't miss me playing the pipes.

... "Which one?" "Look at your list!" Oh, man ... haven't laughed that hard in days. A metonym for a magic moment! This is so great! Love that you uploaded this. I long to learn what I need to learn so I can one day play some of this music, myself. Sometimes, one forgets what one wants to do, and the rush of an inspiring reminder is the most wonderful feeling. Thing is ... there's a lot to learn to play this music, as well as this music is played, here in this beautiful track, and I think a lot of it is almost beyond knowing. Unless one can somehow learn to be open to the ineffable ... maybe. Don't know yet!

You cannot beat a good jig ,I got hooked on them when I heard the 'Mooncoin jig' on the Lp Commoners Crown by Steeleye Span in the 70's.They,like the blues are deceptive ihn that they seen at first sight simplistic in their arrangement and structure BUT the true complexity of them lies in the virtuosity and interperetation of those playing them. This is an impressive little set and I'm hooked again !
