meself ,I have made it quite clear,that I thought some of Steves playing very good,I have made it clear that my comments were subjective[imo]over and over again.
his music was criticised by a reviewer,criticisms that I agreed with,I also praised some of his tunes.
[not dancey enough not dancey enough for who or what ]quote.
sliabh luchra dancing.
this is supposed to be dance music the addition of a few appropriate chotrds can[imo] gives the music some omph.
   finally IT WAS Steve who had an issue with me and also with Will Evans OVER on the session,despite that, I have been fair in my review,praising that which I thought good and criticising as did the reviewer [two tracks]the reviewer criticised only one specifically.
[Dick's propensity for changing his name at frequent intervals. Some of us can discuss things afresh with all baggage left behind]QUOTE .       I have changed my name here once in SEVERAL YEARS,the reason for that was because Geoff Wallis called me Captain Birdbrain[instead of Captain Birdseye].
I am of the opinion that chords in irish music are very appropriate if the players knows what they are doing,listen to piano accompanists like the one with the allow ceilidh band.
[sometimes it is more appropriate to use dyads or double stops of a fifth,it just depends.
to get back on topic the ideal[imo] is to have three harmonicas one tuned in paddy richter and one tuned the traditional way,plus amelody maker.
