What a set a' Pipes Mary Honri had. Wow! Her dad was rather fantastic as well hoisting that large Haydn in the air like that and making it walk the dog. Thanks Leo, for it has just put a nice turn on the day. Edited September 20, 2007 by Mark Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthatcher61 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Good Job. I play 'Off to California' into 'Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine 'as well. I learned it from a Peter Cooper Irish Fiddle Tutor. Are these two tunes usually played together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned it from a Peter Cooper Irish Fiddle Tutor. Are these two tunes usually played together? Interesting...I just tried it and the tunes work in key relationshop (G/D) and have a nice, jaunty swagger together. There are "Tradies" who might look sideways at coupling an Irish hornpipe with what I am given to understand is a Scotish quick march. I'm all for it.

Thanks Leo, for it has just put a nice turn on the day. I agree it was fun to watch. But isn't 1933 too early for that to have been a Hayden? I can't tell what kind of concertina he's playing, but my guess would be a big Mccan duet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Barnert Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 OK, my turn. On Labor Day weekend I was at a camping event called the "Last Gasp" run by the Pickin' & Singin' Gatherin'. It's a group that has been around for about 30 years, and in addition to the yearly camping weekends has monthly sings and sessions. This year somebody had a video camera, and now I'm on YouTube. My only appearance is from 3:51 - 4:19. I'm on the left, to the right of Joyce with the red sweater, with my back to the boat. I mentioned this session in another thread a few weeks ago because of the Uillean pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark? On the page, he's identified as Chris. Do we have the right clip? It's "the garden of daisies", a set dance. See the attached zip file in which the score, a midi and a txt/abc files. Note, however, that this is not quite the same version of the tune as played in the clip. Several subtle differences, the most significant of which is that the YouTube player (Chris? Mark?) plays no C#s. Most of the notes Henk notates as C# come out as C naturals, and some as B naturals. I don't know the tune (never heard it before just now), so I can't say with any authority whether one version is "more correct" than the other.

I noticed the differences in the way Chris/Mark is playing. I never heard these variants on the Garden of Daisies before. A very nice video (with dancing) is shown .You can also check the version at thesessiun.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very nice video (with dancing) is shown .You can also check the version at thesessiun.org. i'm the person playing in this video. i was visiting my youtube addicted friend in new york and he wanted a video of my playing so he took the video using his computer's built-in camera and microphone. i learned this setting of the garden of daisies from the bernard o'sullivan/tommy macmahon album "irish traditional music of county clare" which i had on cassette and was the first concertina album i owned. it is now available in the newly released boxed set "the clare set" on cd. the concertina i'm playing in the video is suttner #298, which is a standard 31-key A-2.

David Barnert Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Well, nice playing, Chris. And always nice to put a face with a name (even if it's a "concertina face," which may or may not be the same as we look like when not playing).

Molly Roberts Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Re: the Garden of Daisies Thank you, Henk, for the title and the zip file, and David for the comments on the variation from the version as written. Apologies, Chris! Not sure where I got "Mark." I do very much like your version with the C naturals and am happy to hear where it came from. Now, off to learn the tune!
