I just found this and only had time to listen to the start, I am sharing it here so that I can find it tomorrow - plus I suspect some of you will appreciate an hour plus recording of John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris playing St Andrews folk club in 1972!

Lester Bailey plays La Mourisque - simple but effective droning on the left hand helps give a certain air of ancientness to the fairly ancient tune.

Given the potentially imminent failure of the AMOC (i.e. the end of the North Atlantic Drift/Gulf Stream, huge climactic consequences - mastodonapp.uk/@OccasionalDuck) I thought I’d better see if would work as (though I’ve only done this in notation - 7am is a bit early in the morning for squeezeboxing,)

.abc notation in the alt text.

I had another “that’d be a good name for a tune” moment a while back. This afternoon there was an outcome, a waltz: "The Slow Collapse of Society.”

.abc notation is in the alt text; chords are what felt natural on DG melodeon as I wrote it down, I’m sure there are better choices out there.

I’ve not been having the greatest morning, but Vicky Cooper playing La Discrete by Stephane Delicq puts a bit of a shine back on it

To balance out yesterday’s confidence boost, today’s music making was generally well above my level. Lots to learn to be able to play competently for , though in fairness a fair bit of it was new to me. It may be time to allocate some budget and find a teacher again.

Yesterday went well, if somewhat melting at points such as on the sun-blasted market square (where we cut the set short in the afternoon). What will I do today? I know, go to a broiler of a village hall to play some music at CamFrench! Hope that my NSP behave in the warm as I find the D minor tunes a complete pain on the box…

My folky plans this week
Tonight - Morris dance out
Thursday - Morris practice
Saturday - Morris at St Neots Folk Festival
Sunday - play for Balfolk dancing at CamFrench

Good thing I had a restful weekend not entirely taken up by in-laws anniversary celebrations, have done loads of music practice and it isn’t about a year since I covered for our main musician at Morris, eh? Oops… but that’s why we have practice on Thursday!
