Not the Paddy O’Brien tune.
Just a bit of advance notice that I’ve sent in a version of The Lark in the Morning to the Clips & Snips at Lorenzo’s suggestion with yet more back stitching, ripped off from Pat Mitchell. My setting of the tune is the usual composite Ennis/Felix Doran with a bit of John Rooney and Joe McLaughlin thrown in.

That was just great Ken. I’ve played this tune for years (on the D set) but never thought of playing anything but simple rolls and barks (too many years of being drowned out by the fiddler, I guess!).
I could imagine how some of those stitches sounded, but it’s a lot nicer to hear them. I can kind of do the one where there’s normally a roll on the F#, but the G…that really crack me up. 
I’ve got to learn that one! I can imagine getting carried away on the 3rd section of “Lark” after hearing you do it (your 2nd time through–just before it cuts off). 
Thanks…a good reminder of how much there is yet to learn! Got to go get my fingers loosened up! I can only imagine how much of a challenge those are on the longer B chanter! I’m guessing it’s going to be a year or two before I can make 'em sound that good.

Larry,
Just had a listen to what’s been posted, I din’t intend it to drop off like that, the mp3 on my hard drive still goes to the end of the tune. Weird!! I’ll email you a proper copy.

ken, if you don’t mind me being nosey, how long have you been playing?
that’s very impressive playing
Hi, newboy,
I’ve been playing music since I was about 8 years old, classical piano for a few years then after a bit of hiatus, tin whistle and flute in the early 70s. I started the pipes on a half set about 1979, bollocksed around for a couple of years then went regularly to Willie Week from 1981 to 85.
I quickly decided I had learnt nothing worth having on my own, ditched all that I thought I knew and got some serious technique from the likes of Jimmy O’Brien-Moran and Robbie Hannan. Plenty of practice in between but when you know what you’re aiming for it’s quite a positive experience.
If you’re starting out yourself make sure you get the best tuition you can find and fill that out by listening critically to as many of the old masters as you can get.

Ken, thanks for sharing that. Really fantastic. I hope to be half that good one day.
