I’ve recently changed the site to no longer use embedded YouTube videos for the main instrument pages to speed up the load times. The videos will open in their own page when you click the links associated with each tune. I’ll still use embedded videos for the “Latest News” page, but keep them to only a few per page.
Thanks to bigpow5 for the suggestion, should greatly improve the page load times.
A recommended version is on the second Mulcahy Family CD, after Her Golden Hair Hanging Over Her Back. Nice opportunity to dig out the Eb whistle. The whole CD is wonderful. The tune, incidentally, is originally Scots, written by J.S. Skinner as a march.
Does anyone know of a different tune by the name of Behind the Bush? There’s a tune, played by pipers, supposedly called Behind the Bush, which I really love. I was hoping that I had finally found it with this video, but…not it. It was played at the Friday ceili at Augusta, and at several other performances there over the week.
Hmmmm. I don’t think that’s the tune either. I think I’ll sleep on it and maybe the catchiest phrase will come back to me in the morning, which I’ll try to come up with an ABC of.
By golly, THAT IS IT!!!
Who’d ever thought that such an ambiguous description of a tune could get such positively correct results? Not me.
Thanks, Guru!
Thanks, guys. When I consider the depth and breadth of knowledge of instruments and traditions possessed by some of our fellow Chiffers, I know full well that I am only a junior grade guru at best. But it’s always fun to help, and I’ll take whatever props and mojo I can get.
