There wasn't enough of Jimmy playing solo melodeon for my liking. There was a snippet of Jimmy and Phil Cunningham duetting on "The Bluebell Polka". Two things weren't mentioned on the TV: first, that Jimmy said to Phil, "Noo, remember I'm an auld man, so tak yer time", and second, what Jimmy thought of Phil's cissy earring. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Scottish Music Pages: http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/scottish/index.html Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Re: [scots-l] Andy Dejarlis Jig
People have been commenting extensively on Andy Dejarlis Jig, but I'd like to add that I think for The Sailor's Wife Em is a more usual key than Dm.

Re: [scots-l] Jimmy Shand - a Nation Mourns
Big dilemma here when I thought I'd watch the telly for a bit tonight. One the one channel, there's a bio-documentary on the life of Dr Alex Comfort, author of the 'The Joy of Sex', and guru of free love. On the other, a programme on the life of Jimmy Shand. Within three days, we lost: - Jimmy Shand (age 92) - Victor Borge (age 92) - W.V.O. Quine (age 92) - the Singing Postman I can kinda imagine Borge extending the "phonetic pronunciation" sketch to handle the notation of Quine's "Set Theory and Its Logic", but but a collective obituary of all of them would be quite an achievement. === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Last night I moved the server to a location with alot more bandwidth which fixed alot of the frequent rebuffering. Then I experimented with increaing the streaming rate, but I found that it made it rebuffer even more for people connecting with modems. So I left it at 32 bits, which is the same as FM radio, which made the rebuffering rate more acceptable. The fidelty of FM radio sounds good enough for my purposes. I was able to sucessfully boost the maximum number of connections up to 7.

Another idea is to record two or more songs in one file and announce what thay are at the end. I did some stuff in 'show format' using MP3 (two 50 minutes). I used 32k mono so it would sound decent. Problem is you really need a 56k modem unless you download. You cannot download live streams. What really surprised me is people liked that I did not talked over the music. It was a side effect as I assembled it out of .wav files (including my annoucements) and did not want to do additional work crossfading it. I listen alot to techie radio on both TVRO satellite and internet. I think it is neat. 73 Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

There are 23 abc versions on the Net, all in D minor. Or D dorian, of course, though the tune doesn't seem to have any 6ths at all, so never mind. Well, there are three that are labelled "K:c". But they are in D minor, too. Maybe I should put up a version in E minor.

I would think that it's alot easier to play in D minor, at least on the fiddle. Can it even be played on wind insturments in Em?
