@sara505sings Ah but Cormac, you forget .. the only rule is ... There are no rules! :-)

Last Friday night I played for two hours, with my Fiddle tuned down to 'B' .... with a friend's Flat set of Uilleann Pipes!

Oh by the way, & just for the record ..... C & F are my favourite keys. Cheers, Dick

this sounds fantastic! You play so clean and on beat. I find a lot of solo mandolin players cant seem to keep a beat, but you've done wonderfully. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

@thedulcimer .. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

As for my rhythm, well, I've been rattling one of these yolks for over 30 years now, so if I didn't have some rhythm to my playing by now ...... I never would! :-)

Its 'The handsome young Maidens' by Charlie Lennon played in D rather than the Original in A.

@ionannas many thanks.

I can update my info now! ;-)
