We’re getting there, folks!! Looks like the final file count will be something in the eighties.
In a few weeks I hope to have data cds (mp3 and pictures) and audio cds (selected tracks, for use in a regular cd player) available for order at cost of shipping and media.
I want to get a general idea of the number of people interested in CDs. If you think you might like to order a CD (or more than one), please email me with your location and what you are interested in, and I will put you on the ‘tentative’ list. This will not mean that you are required to get one, it’s just a head count. I will have to charge a little bit for them - $4 USA priority shipping and $1 for every CD (with case) that you want. If you can’t afford it, tell me and we will work it out - I don’t want anyone who wants a CD to have to miss out. More details later.

Here we go with the nit picking (this won’t be too terrible, I promise!).
You will have better results searching for mp3s or ABCs if you use correct titles:
The Shores of Lough Gowna (Sometimes the Bank of Lough Gowna; this tune is usually played in B minor but can be played in A minor with a different mood and color)
The Monaghan Jig
The Boys of Ballisadare
Try “Old Hag You Have Killed Me”, “The Old Hag in the Kiln”, “The Hag’s Purse”, “The Hag at the Churn”, and “The Hag With the Money”. These are all different tunes, all worth knowing.
The Gander in the Pratie Hole
Maids of Mount Kisco
That oughta do it. I’m not doing it to pick, only trying to be helpful. Good luck all.
Hi Pat, thanks for the spelling corrections, they are appreciated. Just to elaborate, though, I am not searching for these tunes online but am pulling them off a recording I made of a session this weekend. I have all the tunes, and most of the tunes have someone saying the name, but I don’t know how to spell any of them.
Guys, are these tunes coming through loud enough or do I need to adjust the volume? I’m used to having my speakers turned way up when dealing with wav editing, so I might not have it at a typical level. Opinions?
You captured the essence of a fun informal session so well I almost feel like I was there. Every comment and kid noise -nothing edited out. I like that! And the volume is perfect for my system! I do look forward to every one of the tunes as you get them up.
Hey Beth - Do John Ryan’s Polka - I’ve been working on it this week. Thanks!
Susan
(Just tried to send you an email but it was returned. I’m having trouble downloading some of the songs - I’m positive it’s me, but is there going to be another way to get the songs? - I think someone mentioned a CD.)

Beth,
what was the release date of the CD?
Haha…dunno. First I am getting all of them in low-quality mp3 format, to facilitate identification and let Tom, Brian, Cees and Susan get the big dreamy smiles I’ve been wearing all week. Then when they are all ID’d I have to figure out how many can fit on an audio CD and which ones those should be. Maybe I’ll have people vote. Then I have to burn the CD and make the cover, of course.
And hopefully before that I will have the webpage up. I sketched the layout in a boring meeting today, just have to find time to do it. Too bad there’s no excuse to do HTML at work…
Finally, I want to take the WHOLE night and see if I can fit it all in stereo MP3 format on a single data CD. Dunno if it is possible. For that I will have to go through the whole crop again and make new split points so nothing is left out.
But it’s fun!
I hope to be done well before Thanksgiving, if for no other reason than the fact that I go back to school then and everything that isn’t done will get shoved on the back burner. Ideally I will be done before Sept 20th, because I expect to get some more recordings then!
Drop me a line, or a phone call (I’m home), or a chat room (about to go in and lurk) about that weekend, eh? and after sunday I’ll know more about boise session.
