Thread Name: Playing at speed
Subject: RE: Playing at speed
neither have you answered on what page Matt Cranitch makes the statement you say he makes, in the copy i have of irish fiddle he makes no such statement, in fact your contribution is as red herring , the important points he makes are about emphasis not speed. yes indeed 108 for jigs is a higher met setting than 100 for reels ,but they are 6/8 and 4/4.
if jackie daly said what he said i am inclined to believe him rather than you , there are too many internet experets who in fact know feck all, jackie daly is someone whose comments i respect , why, because he has been playing trad music VERYWELL for 60 odd years, you have yest to answer whether you even play an instrument.
