Thread Name: Mandolin Help - Pick Direction For Jigs
Subject: RE: Mandolin Help - Pick Direction For Jigs
Ceart go leor, a chara -- Ní bheith 'twist' ar bith i mo fóbhriste ansin! ;-)

(translation: I give up, Aidan! I won't be gittin' a twist in my britches then!)

To quote that fella called Nick Strutt over in the 'choking my mandolin's neck' thread, "Your body and the instrument must be married in the dance and one needs space to sway spin and fearlessly indulge your passion." -- I therefore shall fearlessly indulge my passion in your jig, a chara, and boldly go where no mando-idiot has gone before (well, in my house anyway!). ;-) 'Course, I'd rather be in a pub in Donegal sitting with some ". . . Guinness soaked Celts"; but then, wouldn't we all?
