Couldn’t find this one in the Other Tunes list. I’m really surprised that it isn’t a popular tune here on MandolinCafe. Personally I love the stuff, take it every day. We are blessed. Really. https://youtu.be/j4lcyugYsL8
Good jig playing, Simon. My preference is for your first version here.
Thanks John, yes the second one was more of an experiment. It reminds me of a dance rhythm that I heard once in Brazil that seemed a bit disjointed. Funny though, the strange rhythm of the second one actually did something to my left hand coordination on the first version. Got some clipped notes in there.
As John says, the jig rhythm is very good here. And I agree about the considerable advantages of drinking water every day!
Simon, is that experimenting with 0.5 vs 1.0 Ice-Water ratios?
