[Fanny Powers - The South Wind]

Thank you Mike, good to listen to your rather strict playing (which I always admire for its steadiness and ease). A lot to consider (at least for variation), and I like the 8-7-6-5 bass run at the beginning of the B section...

 

That said I like to add that I greatly appreciate your replying musically - I guess this is what always could be done post-TOTM. I on my part am explicitly inviting anyone to add a recording of his or her own playing the tunes, or one of them.

 

Best wishes - ?

Hi

This was  a first take, no edits, just to contrast with Mike's playing.

Not with this layout, but I don't know what it is.

A search on UK ebay of completed sales sorted highest first, those in green are sales. It seems to me prices have dropped £500-1000.

[Sticky Keys In Cold Weather]

A few of my keys seem to stick when the weather gets a bit chilly! I resolved it for the most important one by using some graphite on the bushing, but it's happening to a few other keys too. Could replacing the springs help alleviate it? I suspect it's still using its original Lachenal springs; would new ones be more...springy?

 

I'm assuming the issue is likely caused by the metal being less springy when it's cold, as it's pretty consistent when the temperature drops a bit.

I would have thought it more likely to be a rise in humidity, a result in the drop in temperature, causing the wool in the bushings to swell. Bushings can be compressed a little with a tapered pen (Parker biro) and check for verdigree on buttons.

The Lively Jig (Ilmington) or the Wonder hornpipe. My 1st school was in Ilmington.

 

Cool! I never heard this done as a jig before.

 

As an aside - I used to be musician for a Morris group that danced Ilmington.

 

Well, I wasn't playing it as a jig, that is just the dance title. It may have lost it's step hop from not playing for morris for 15+ years.

[Tune Of The Month, May 2015: Da Slockit Light]

One hour later. I played along with Jim's in G version and found the tune is all there on the right hand. It would have been easier if I'd transposed it. Many, many takes later, with same G/D, Wheatstone layout:
