22 Apr 00 - 04:18 AM (#215988) Subject: Midi req -Kid on the mountain From: GUEST,Mike Ireland Hi Over the past week I've been learning a new tune on the whistle and its driving me crazy - its the Irish traditional tune 'Kid on the Mountain'. I don't have it on Cd or tape but I do have it in ABC format my ABC player ABC2win plays it, however there is a 'turn' in the tune and the ABC player won't cope with the change. Would anyone have a web address that might have this tune in midi format? Theres a challenge for Alison. Happy easter and don't eat to many easter eggs! Mike |

22 Apr 00 - 11:47 AM (#216077) Subject: RE: Midi req -Kid on the mountain From: Jon Freeman No it a horrible slip jig and it is one of those tunes I nearly always screw up even though there is nothing hard about it (except 3 too many beats in a bar). Jon |
23 Apr 00 - 03:04 PM (#216617) Subject: RE: Midi req -Kid on the mountain From: GUEST,Mike Ireland Thanks you lot - you never fail to give the answers. Hi Alison - Carrick is fine, traditional/folk music has taken a big surge forward in the area. The group I play with has had lots of requests from local pubs and hotels to start a traditional evening. We have had to pass this info out to other players and groups as we can't do them all. When you back if you have time drop into the Coast Road Hotel in Carrick on a Wed evening 9.30pm to 2.00am - its usually a good session with 8 to 15 players mixed ability - free drink to the players. Thanks again. Mike |
