I'm having the same problems. My first public venue was at a nursing home. The pressure is low because not all the audience is awake. The few that are alert enough to really listen will appreciate...
Thanks everyone. Plans are firming up. I will be a week NW of Aberdeen Scotland, a week in Tralee/Dingle Ireland, a couple days touring Yorkshire. Will be leaving Leeds May 23 by train and don't...
I am self taught on mandolin and whistle and seeking a lesson or 2 while I am in the UK in May, 2015. Will start in Aberdeen Scotland, and will travel around for a few weeks in England and Ireland....
Yes, it's dry and I've not been using a humidifier. Guess I'd better take the Collings and have it looked at.
I see Oasis has humidifiers for guitar and ukulele. Should I order the smaller...
I made an error and ran out of strings. I'm living in Guanajuato, GTO Mexico and am waiting until I visit in NC next month to get more. The mail is real tricky here. My 9 month old Colling's...
ummmm.... might be some stigma. Sounds too much like Broke Back Mountain.
Awesome artist, but I thought he was dead? Or maybe he's religious and could play in a heavenly jam session with all the harpists up there?
Got my Collings MTO today. It plays so easy! The sound is very mellow and rich. Woody. Lots more sustain than my starter Kentucky. I'm sure it will allow me to play a lot better, with more...
Consider experimenting with restrictive diets. Allergies run in my family. Allergies cause inflammation, maybe in your nose, maybe in your joints. In my early 50's, my arthritis was so bad I was...
Have you tried a hot wax bath? Feels really good.

Considering the sophistication of audio recording equipment available, I don't understand why someone hasn't studied this scientifically. Record an instrument out of the box, then monthly and...
Mastery on a single instrument is not my goal. I get more pleasure if I focus on achievable short term goals. The process of playing music is my immediate goal; Here/Now, as in "oh, this is a very...
You may. Its a good suggestion. The camera does seem to make me a bit impatient to just get through it. I video on coffee in the AM. I play it more like you suggest in the evening on wine. ...
errrr..... I'm not real good at this.... there's no sharps or flats at all. That makes it C major?

Jim,
My version is from Irelands' best tin whistle tunes vol 2. I suppose taking a picture and posting here would be a copyright violation?

A nice one I'm working on. Don't have it perfect yet, but I decided not to stress about it.

thanks. I found more stuff when it was spelled bandurria. Lots of regional diversity.
These are noted as being mandolins, but what's with all the strings? Are they technically still mandolins?
I am moving to this place in the fall. These gangs of student musicians are common on...
Don't push the river, it flows by itself. Sometimes it will flow down a slightly different stream bed, and we just have to go where it flows that day or season. Pushing just makes waves, or swamps...
Can anyone describe the technique to get rid of the chirp? I have a variety of picks. Some of those that produce a nice tone do chirp. I want my cake, and eat it too.

Evidently this is not an isolated incident.
Oh yes, double good one, as I have been looking for pieces to play with my piano playing friend.
Thanks!

Wow, some great stuff there. Busy downloading sheet music.
Thanks,
Katy
Thanks, I forgot I knew this one. This time I printed out the music so it doesn't get lost in my brain. Yes, it is a nice one.
