Thread Name: Tunes - their place in the tradition
Subject: RE: Tunes - their place in the tradition
Since when did musical traditions take much notice of the wording of the law, Tom? It might have relevance for the PRS or whatever, but as far as a session musician is concerned, there's no difference between a tune composed last week by Harrison Birtwistle and one composed 300 years ago by Anon (unless your session mates or the puinters know). The problem is to work out how to play it and make it fit in with your sort of music.

It was written in E. On the fiddle, it definitely sounds better that way.
