I'm please to announce that the new, November 2000, edition of the Fiddler's
Companion is now on-line at Ceolas at http://www.ceolas.org/tunes/fc. This
edition reflects nearly two addtional years of work on the index since the
last on-line edition, and includes much additional, corrected and enhanced
information regarding traditional tunes from many genres and styles. Of
special note is the addition of abc notation to thousands of tunes, including
those from collections such as O'Neill's (DMI), Athole, Skye, Northumbrian
Minstrelsy, Chappell, Glen and others.
I am particularly please to be able to inform that Bill Black has allowed me
to include his abc's from his outstanding collection "Music's the Very Best
Thing: The Bill Black Irish Tune Book, Vol. 1." As always, I am grateful to
those many from the lists who have graciously provided their expertise and
information, and those who have allowed me to post their abc's.
The Fiddler's Companion is also available for purchase in convenient CD-ROM
format (Holiday gift-shoppers please take note--fhe CD makes a great present
for that special trad.-playing friend!). The same version as the latest
on-line index, the CD-ROM includes graphics and formating not included in the
web-based index, making it even more useful and easy to use. Please send
inquiries off-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks.
Regards,
Andrew Kuntz
