Does that look electronic? Can you read the date?

Now fuck off.

GUEST:
So no interpretive subtleties in this then here?

No idea, I couldn't watch it here even if I wanted to waste my time on sentimental fakery. From Steve Shaw's description after taking one for the team and actually watching it, I presume it isn't a straight video from a session like the Edinburgh or Ashokan ones, which were what I was talking about.

Anybody can add layers of interpretation to anything. And any sufficiently large group of fiddlers can turn any tune into a dogged expressionless routine. Slow airs performed en masse in sessions nearly always lose the whole point
