Damn thick fingers! It's Miss McCloud's Reel! Richard: Thanks for the spelling fix. [/url] [url=http://ezfolk.com/audio/play.php?mode=song_lofi&band_id=1143&song_id=6150] [url=http://ezfolk.com/audio/download.php?mode=song_hifi&band_id=1143&song_id=6150][/url] - One minute of A-major frolic. But it would sound nice looped for a few minutes with a guitar (which I'll let someone else add this time, hint) or mandolin, or fiddle. I entered this tune in Banjo general because it clearly isn't bluegrass, but it's not frailing either. I almost always seems to play in a fingerpicking style, no picks, I'm told this is called Festival Style. Works for me.

Hey Phil, Colleen has a reel set on her MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/colleensettle) that begins with Mulhaire's and then into Miss McLeod's done Sligo style. Great reel that Miss McLeod's. Peace, Ed

Ed, I really like her work. It's playing as I type. I wish she (and you) were closer. A few years ago, I sat in with an Irish bad (on St. Pat's Day). It was fun. While purists decry the 5-string's place in Celtic music, I had fun and the music was pretty good. Although it got a little ragged as the evening wore on. Thanks Brad, Looking forward to hearing it. I belive "Hop High Ladies" or "Uncle Joe" are Americanized names for basically the same tune.

Well at one time Colleen was not too far from you (Greenwood Lake) but now she is in Georgia and that’s pretty far I’d say. There are some purists that will tell you any accompaniment at all is outside the tradition and others that think the banjo, even the tenor, has no place in the music. As I see it folk music is a living, breathing, art that evolves through out its existence. I’m not sure which segment of the time line one would choose to alone define the “tradition”. Keep doing what you are and have a blast because that’s what it’s all about. Peace, Ed

Ed, I agree with you in spades. Celtic music added greatly to American music in countless ways. And the influence has been returned with an American overlay. (Where did the Irish banjo comes from?) If Irish musicians, and you know more about this than I, wanted to be a zillion percent pure, they would sing only in Irish with instruments that predate the invasions. But ... I've always had trouble with self-exclusive boundaries. Last week, at an open mike, I was up there with a friend playing a Hank Williams set. It got pretty good. We began to jam with "Your cheating heart." I started off on guitar and switched to harmonica. Then a jazz guitarist joined us. Then a drummer. It was traditional American music. From several traditions. When we ran that classic out of gas I segued into "Tears on my pillow." It came out countrified. But it was still a Little Anthony and the Imperials song. And we had fun doing it. That old R&B song is now over 50 years old. And it can be done simply, without fuss. That makes it a traditional song by several definitions. Even if it is probably copywriten up the whazoo.
