If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. Or didn't your mother teach you that?

[cloke32]

Oh dear. Another one. Very clear and yet entirely incorrect explanation of 6/8 time. The clarity of the explanation in fact, being second only to the incorrectness....

For an equally clear and entirely correct explanation, try elsewhere...

I'm trying to figure out how to bow when you have lots of slurs as I run out of bow and it screws up my rhythm, what would be the correct term for this so I can study it? thanks.

@deterdettol Thanks a bunch for the suggestions, I will definitely follow up on those.

[deterdettol]

@banjocorgimama (cont.) Frankie Gavin is one, and there are others too. I like Clare fiddlers a lot, and Tommy Peoples too.

@banjocorgimama I respect your stance, but just like you, I also stand by mine. Thus my reply.

Also, my comment was never meant as rebuttal. I meant to inform you as to why I made all those comments. Oppositional Defiant Disorder? Perhaps. I love arguing and debating so yup. I'm not a troll though, so thankfully I'm not that bad.

Also, if you enjoy listening to the music, go right ahead. Don't allow me to stop you. Also there's plenty other great fiddle music on youtube. Frankie Gavin

@deterdettol While I respect your rebuttal, I stand by my comment...and as for me, I will continue to choose the enchanting sounds of fiddle music over someone's oppositional pontifications, regardless of how justified they may think they may be, any day.

[deterdettol]

@banjocorgimama I have the right to defend myself after someone maligned me through misrepresenting what I said. Maybe you think all this is futile, perhaps you are right. But I have the freedom to comment, and thus to defend myself as and when I deem fit, and no where at any point in time have I denied my opposition his right to comment as well.

And we aren't trolling. So, one basic internet etiquette has been met. This is just arguments which has gotten a little heated. That's all.
