Hello...are you from Newfoundland? I noticed you are playing a Irish style Hohner Black Dot accordion with the two rows tuned a semitone apart...these accordions are rare in newfoundland...most Newfoundlanders play accordions with the rows tuned a 4th apart.

[AccordionStu]

No, I'm not from Newfoundland, would love to live there though. I'm from Belfast N.Ireland, but living in England now. The box is a B/C and I play Irish, Scottish, Ulster and newfie music,I like newfie tunes because they add a certain lift to a party.

Anyone know where I can dots for this tune?

You are incredibly talented

[MrTallfiddle]

Delightful playing. I find it interesting that you transformed the tune to a fast hornpipe..[from a single jig...but called a reel; at some point in time 6/8 or 4/4 wasn't always associated with a particular dance form]..kind of fits into my notion that some of the Nfld. repertoire is quite old, based on an earlier form of Irish music.[pre famine] If you're a reader of music I've got quite a bit of it written down. I could send you a few PDF's if you're interested.

I know Bugs Greene. He plays fiddle too and does a great job on my song My Grandfather's Fiddle on my cd Natural. I like the way you add those extra grace notes in there. Where are you from? Newfoundland?? Cheers~Mike at triple w thesharecroppers d o t n e t (if you get my drift!!)
