Thread Name: Sessions - how do you learn?
Subject: RE: Sessions - how do you learn?
Hi Pete, and I really enjoyed your "Oh Death"!!! And the drumming was extremely tasteful and restrained - so like most drummers! I will certainly come again - my wifes parents live in Lincoln, so I can drop her off and keep her happy, while amusing myself also. Win/Win! To hear how Hector the Hero should really sound click here and for a slightly faster tune, try this old chestnut click here . Interestingly, one of the suggestions for further study from YouTube is Will Fly's version of this! I get the impression mine would not be fast enough for the Dog and Bone session, but that is the speed that is comfortable on the autoharp! That is one of the problems I have with leading anything - I am never really sure if I can play something at a speed that is acceptable amongst really good musicians. I agree on the variety though - I heard everything from Ralph Stanley to Paganini by way of Johnny Mercer!
