Blue and Orange Book

Say,

Does anyone know how to get a copy of a fabled blue and orange :boggle: :stuck_out_tongue: book that was widely touted after willie week last year?

It was supposed to not only have a boad load of tunes in it but also they were arranged in commonly played or well-working sets. (To teach you to play more than just one reel or jig at a time)

Any information on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Scott McCallister

Hope this helps.
BTW I thought the tunes were played at a slow enought pace for beginners to follow.

there are also a red and green book. i have them all, but havenā€™t had teh opportunity to really sit with them. for someone who is not a usual session goer i think the set arrangements are a really helpful feature.

I have the blue and orange session tunes books from ossian and I have a question. The tunes are all played on the CDā€™s at what seems to be a ā€œleisurely paceā€ compared to how I hear these tunes played in session or on commercial CDā€™s. Is this because they are giving novices like myself a break while we learn the tunes or is this a more normal tempo for the tunes for dancing? Iā€™m not trying to stir up the ā€œyou play like a maniac, no I donā€™tā€ pot (I do enjoy the music, fast or slow). There just isnā€™t a lot dancing to Irish music going on here in the wilds of Logan for me to have a live reference.

Thanks,
John
