Just to remind all regional catters that the regular last Sunday in the month session at the Six Bells in Barrow, North Lincs, is on tonight!
Be there or.... be somewhere else.

I'm told that the ever welcome Ploughflyer will be in attendance and voluble, so that'll be good.

Greetings to you all!

Wilfried, how delightful to hear from you, and as splendid as last night's session was, it lacked the dignity of your presence.

Daithi, yes, it's game-on tomorrow, and will be all the better for your attendance.

Come along, whistler, make us all happy with your...whistling. I've actually bought a box - but won't have it till Wednesday - bet none of you can guess the keys it's in?

There's more than one key? When did this happen? I assume that it'll be OK to jauntily hammer along with it in the proper key of Barton, no matter what sort of tuning it has. The golden rule is "if it's audible, join in" and as a matter of curiosity, establish what key it was in after the thunderous climax, when one has got one's breath back and the voices in the head have died down a bit.

Keys indeed! Harumph.

I wondered what Bloke was on about too, David. Everything we know is in standard Barton tuning, and keys are somewhere in Florida or accessories for chastity belts. We all know when some lightweight can't guess the tune, as they slam their instrument back into it's bag in a fit of incompetence, allowing we visionaries to complete our various predictions in more concentrated cacophony.

Skip and Oaklet, that is really refreshing. I am a brilliant and gifted euphoneum player. I love to provide counter-melodies to everything I hear (particularly folk music in pubs) and have realised that if it sounds a bit wrong, just play it louder until the song or tune becomes a bit of old descant to my invention. My counter-melodies are never in the same key, nor the same time signature nor even the same length as the subject. Those who promote the benefits of theoretical musical order and control are just denying me freedom of expression, in my opinion.

Well, it's that time of the month again. Who's up for some more merry tunes and songs in sunny Barrow?
