I think that if anyone could make Tony laugh,
his smile would crack and burst the corners of his mouth..

@UISTMAN59 The most important differences between an Irish and "Balkan" bouzouki are: 1.tuning. 2:bodyshape.(the Irish bouzouki has a flat body-back,while the other is bowl-shaped).

@spunnek75 Nothing wrong with tenor banjo at all..one of my boyhood idols was the late Noel Strange (Banjo Mandolin). Music must develop/evolve ...bt there is much very conservative on the trad scene....try playing a Boehm flute!! Recently I was taken to task for playing a tune in a different key ...when I told my accuser I could also play it in his key ...there was a noticable silence!

There is much in what Mc is on about.....much can be lost ...he is not great on specifics ..tone, tempo , rhythm, sound colouring , appropriateness in ornamentation, use of dynamics etc ....but it is good to see development taking place ...the older playes talked about these things though generaly not in a systematic way.

The man is fuckin' right !!
If I want to listen to Greek music I will listen to Greek music.
If I want to listen to Irish music I will listen to Irish music.
I don't want to hear a mix of them.

Tony got into a lot of trouble recently over his comments on Frankie Gavin and De Danann - but I agree wholeheartedly with what he says here.
