GUEST	Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) (126* d)	RE: Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??)	08 Aug 24
Helen- I get what you say BUT if you play or sing any song from the dots, you are getting it second hand. The dots cannot express the subtleties of a live performance by the source, and that is true in any context. You will interpret the dots your own way & then it is third hand. Much better to hear Jay Ungar play it (I think you've done that?) forget the dots & then do it your way, and certainly in all cases do not slavishly follow the dots- such a policy is totally against the whole concept of traditional music & I'm sure Jay Ungar would agree
