Moonlight Hop

[Alan Day]

I have modified this tune to give it a bit more drive.

Played in G

Three times through for those who like to play along.

When u posted that I suspected u would not be at Southwark - but u were discussed! I nearly missed it too, falling asleep in front of the telly. I Dropped Ch and Ca off after (his van at death's door) with a HOP and a skip over to peckham rye and a Drive back in the Moonlight.... 10 turned up -- cold and frosty....

No sign of either of you two at The George Inn, either. Must be the weather!

Very dodgy roads around here,even the camber of the road has put a few cars in the ditches.

I shall go to Charlwood next Monday the first Folk outing this Year.

Nice hop steppy Hornpipe Al. Is the conc a C/G or G/D?

Snowed in here. Even the blackbirds are knocking on the back door for scraps! It'll be like Hitchcock's The Birds soon

 

 

Just inspired me to compose a tune

But there was no Xmas cake...

 

Charlwood too far with present snowcast, but definitely on the agenda when bikeable in the sunny weather (despite two-way visa to go south of Efelant and Castle getting more expensive all the time...)

Be careful u don't go bellowsing around on the icy roads Al

BTW Al - it says on some event sites that it is at the Half Moon on Sundays, not Mondays ??? Jan 10 is a Sunday.. better earlier than late, no?!

Thanks Michael(A GD Anglo) and yes have a go at composing. Many attempts finish up as "Hold on I recognise that one", or a slower or faster tune of one you have already composed. A few listens on an MP3 normally tells you if it is worth progressing any further.

Kautilya the Charlwood event is held on the second Monday in the Month and is now at The Rising Sun so it will be 11th Jan for this one. (it was held at the Half Moon until we all turned up one night to find the pub closed).

It is a mixture of music and not a session.Mainly a sing around until it's my turn.

Charlwood - Righteeho.

 

Yr post interrupted me as I was effortfully fingering what so far must be entitled Midnight Flop!

 

"His Master's" version however sounds v good and lilty - I hope one is not supposed to play-dance it outside in the buff at -3 under a full moon.)

 

[it also slows down without distortion for repeat phrase practising in Audacity.com -- for those who aint used, download audacity, dnload moonlight hop, open with audacity ( or open audacity and bring in hop file which will convert it).

 

Put cursor to right on sound waves where u want to end first bit to practise.

Move cursor to left to highlight waves/

Go to effects, select repeat and choose how many repetitions,

Go to effects and choose speed (NOT tempo) and minus it to about 35)

and then start listening/playing by hitting green play arrow....

You cant set these effects while it is playing.

To go back to start, yellow stop button and then double blue arrow back

Thanks for the encouragement Al. I know what you mean about similarity. I hate to see the look an a player's face when they fondly play an original composition and people say " Oh isn't that like so and so?"

 

 

I reckon that's why so many tunes on The Session get slipped in as 'Gan Ainm' or 'No Name' or unknown

One of the advantages of being around for a long while, even so up comes a lovely tune from The George on one of the nights I am not there.
