31 Oct 21 - 10:55 AM (#4124751) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: Jon Freeman here's one clip, Sandman. It goes into one part of the Bluebell Polka and then some jig I can't place. |

31 Oct 21 - 11:12 AM (#4124755) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: Bonzo3legs Thank you Sandman, it's the tune from 3:50 I'm after. It was played by a session band on BBC Radio Scotland "Take the Floor", which I record every week from the webstream. |

31 Oct 21 - 01:11 PM (#4124769) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: The Sandman jesus, what a mess merging the bluebell polka with some jig makes it difficult. a variant of the masons apron, how about a variant of a cacophony. could it be father o flynn at his crucifixion |

31 Oct 21 - 02:16 PM (#4124775) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: Bonzo3legs It does slightly, but I'm wondering if it's one of John Kirkpatrick's tunes? |

31 Oct 21 - 07:25 PM (#4124805) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: Johnny J I think it is a version of "Pet of the Pipers" https://thesession.org/tunes/5132 Actually, none of the ones listed there are identical to the setting I play either but I'm pretty sure it's the same tune as that on the track. |

01 Nov 21 - 08:18 AM (#4124858) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: GUEST,Richard It is Pet of the Pipers, very similar to the version in Allan's Irish Fiddler. |

02 Nov 21 - 02:56 AM (#4124955) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: Bonzo3legs Definitely Pet of the Pipers - see BBC Radio Scotland "Take the Floor" session 27 March 2021. |

02 Nov 21 - 06:37 AM (#4124971) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: Bonzo3legs Pet of the Pipers with very irritating twiddly bits. Having first heard this tune played by JK in Morris On style - that's the way to go for me!! |

03 Nov 21 - 03:46 AM (#4125034) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: The Sandman IMO not enough emphasis on ist and fourth beats, too even for jig playing, but i suppose an improvement on the original mix which was cacophonic to start with |

03 Nov 21 - 04:14 AM (#4125037) Subject: RE: Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands From: The Sandman The Bowed Psaltery, is an instrument with limitations, ,it is very difficult to play legato, this is overcome partially by the sympathetic ringing of strings, it has the opposite problems of the hammered dulcimer which is difficult to play staccato and requires damping to stop the continuous ringing of strings |
