'Detached' is not an equivalent, though. I'll play a slow air,
or everything else for that manner with 'detached fingering'

Ooooh, I'm not going there!!
Saying that something is _not_ the opposite of another is only one assertion.
Saying what _is_ an opposite requires a number of bold and foolhardy
I think I'd go along with all of this.

Thank you in turn, Philip. The ancient sagas are an interesting question. I
don't know when or how the Iliad and the Odyssey came to be fixed in their
present form, but I do know that the Kalevala was a compilation from a variety
of sources made only in the 19th century.

The Iliad is thought to have been written down in something like its
current form a little earler than the Odyssey, during the second half

Hello Matt
Many thanks for putting us right on the name of the 2nd tune.

head.
We are probably rather spoiled living in an age of recordings.
I'm thinking of the interpretation of the dots as opposed to actual
playing of them as written.

And there was I thinking that it was an alternative name! I love that tune,
especially since hearing the Eliza Carthy / Martin Green version on Dinner
(which has a bunch of other 3/2 hornpipes, many from the John of the Green,
