    I saw Hayes on tour with April Verch. A great sideman who is stepping out as a great performer in his own right. Well done!

    Hayes, you're welcome to upload it on the regular part of the Forum. The blog comments don't have a utility for uploading PDFs, just images. It's a great piece of music.

    Might have review MM#131 a few more times and steal as much as I am able.

    Lovely David!

    I've seen it both ways Britches and Breeches. O'Neill's lists it as Breeches.

    The first part does sound a little like Banish Misfortune but it is 260 Frieze Breeches.

    One of my favourite players! Unfortunately I sound nothing like him.

    David, I love your playing and the sound of your Girouard A5! The tune is "Frieze Britches" or is that "Frieze Breeches?"

    It's actually the double jig ' Banish Misfortune '

    Wow. Great feel, incredible tone, and such good technique. That Girouard sounds amazing, even on those super high notes.

    Oh, so sweet. Always loved that song.

    Thanks Simon!

    Unseasonably cool!

    I really like how Simon Dunson picks with seemingly no resting or touching of picking hand upon bridge saddle;more from the elbow than wrist. That is how it looks to me;and,it makes for quite powerful tone. Being plugged in probably helps with that too.

    No dust on those close-together frets!

    Thank you,Simon. I enjoyed that.
