Is this a good excuse to post our favorite versions of McLeod's?
Here's one I like, from the playing of Michael Coleman, courtesy of David
Lyth's book, Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing v. 1 (transcriptions of
Coleman, Morrison, Killoran.) Complete with bowing, which was the point of
the book. Twice thru, to give an idea of the variations he played.
This brings up a couple of questions: has anyone tried to
incorporate bowing in a playback program? Second, are there abc sites
which have Irish fiddle tunes with bowing indicated? Must be a few around,
but I don't know the magic words to use with JC's tune finder. (I'm
looking for Sligo or Clare style, which probably means transcriptions of
someone's playing.)
Cheers,
John Walsh
