Les in Chorlton Arranging tunes in pub sessions (53* d) RE: Arranging tunes in pub sessions 04 Jul 14

Thanks Brian. The reason tunes have been played for hundreds of years is because they are good tunes - especially for dancing - the are dance tunes. The 20 / 21C creation of 'The Session' in which people who are generally pretty good at playing tunes sit together and play tunes - sometimes so fast that we can't tell what some of them are and certainly couldn't dance to them is an evolution within a living tradition! Xlnt.

Being able to pick up a tune after 2As & 2Bs is seen as something to aspire to. Ok, if that's your aspiration. I and many of the people who come to our Sessions can't do that and many of us have been playing for many, in my own case 50+, years.

So arrangements please
