This happens very very rarely...

…but I’ll have to spam you with yet another written by me jig.
Hey, maybe it’s not written at all, and maybe not even by me - after playing a hundred tunes, one might imagine he invented the wheel or something.

For those who decided to give it a listen, please let me know if it resembles a tune they know.

in G, playing on my harper D (with some lousy DADGAD in the background)

Very sorry, very thankful,
Philip

I’m not a tune wiz, can barely recall the tunes that I actually do know how to play.
Just wanted to say that I really liked it :slight_smile:
Simple, happy and catchy - good work!

No, it does not resemble anything I’ve heard before, and the jig is also very well written. I’m impressed.
Please write more tunes, and make an album :smiley:

I like it. Good job!

Silvano

Excellent! I love it.

KAC

ei Trip-! this one’s really good. do you have a transcription? i can play by ear but because of my busy schedule i don’t have the luxury of time. even an abc will do. again, great job! :smiley:

[btw, the DADGAD is not lousy at all, it’s fine!]

Good tune Trip-! Have you others we should hear?

Carey

I really like it. I guess I have a new tune to learn today.

Very nice tune, Philip!
I also liked your playing and the sound of your whistle. Good job.

Regards,
Martin

Didn’t expect such positive feedback :slight_smile:
Thank you very much…
I shall prepare a score for this, since you’ve asked so nicely. And an ABC too maybe.

@Carey: I had written some in the past, but not something worthwhile… It’s almost taboo in the scene, so I don’t practice it much.

very glad you enjoyed.
Philip

as promised, score + ABC.

Thank you!

Wow - very nice! I really like it.

Although it doesn’t really sound like it, it reminds me of Planxty’s “The Hare in the Corn” from Cold Blow and the Rainy Night. You can hear a sample at Amazon.

What whistle are you using?

Thanks,
Jason

How a bout a name?

Jason Paul, i’ve mentioned it in my first thread:
It’s a Harper :wink: And thank you, I’ll check out that tune!

Aanvil,
I remember making up names for jigs can take you to your silliest places :slight_smile: I guess in the end, the name will be something like Phili’s or whatever hehe

PS: Only because Carey asked:

Sorry Trip - I must have skimmed right over that!

Thanks,
Jason
