Thread Name: Festival workshop etiquette question
Subject: RE: Festival workshop etiquette question
If you are asking about playing the same tunes, that is common at the workshops I have been to. Different players play the same tunes so that style differences can be heard. I myself use Turkey in the Straw to demonstrate the differences in style. You haven't lived until you have heard Turkey a la Beethoven or Vivaldi!! How about a "bloozy" Turkey?.......was it Mark O'Connor? I have never been very impressed with him, his playing or his manners.
