My attempts to record something this morning went badly awry (including an eventual computer reboot), but here's a lovely new hop jig I'm working on learning, Hannah Harris’s "The Dog Who Chased the Ducks”, played (and explained) by Hannah herself: learn.hannahharrisceol.com/hop

"Little Diamond Polka" was recorded by James "The Professor" Morrison back in the 78rpm era. I learned it off Hannah Harris’s album "Tea For Tunes”. youtu.be/Owus9t6lAYU

I think I posted this one once before on flute, but it's one of my favorite slides, and here I'm celebrating getting it worked out on box. This is "Across the Road”, which I got from a 1949 recording of Paddy Cronin. He played it in Am (and that's how I've normally played it on flute) but here I've transposed it to Em because that key fits the C#/D box better.

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.

Sunday afternoon I played a dance at the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival with Josh Kinn of Kinnfolk. Since we met for the first time about five minutes beforehand, there were some hasty negotiations on what tunes we had in common. (“Yes, The Castle is a great jig, but I can't play it!”) We settled on "Willie Coleman’s”, and then the caller decided to repeat the figure, so we played it through 12+ times.

Well, in honor of discovering The Consequences are here and me being too lazy to record today, here’s one of the tracks of theirs I've been obsessing over, with "Beare Island” (classic Irish reel I don’t know anything about) and the great Cuz Teahan's composition “The Road to Glountane”, which I just learned last week on C#/D. youtube.com/watch?v=7i9nogp8zb

is here again. I enjoy Blowzabella’s “The Willow Runnel” no matter what mood I’m in.

I saw Amy Laurenson play at Cambridge Folk Festival, with Miguel Girao on guitar. The connection was astounding - you can see it in this video from last year.
