Usually Dargai, I believe, but we know what you mean I quote from a recent offlist post about choyting by Mr Ormston: "Essentially it means to play a grace note followed by the melody note without a silence between the two. The worst example is Pigg's rendition of Dargai, which, as has been said elsewhere, sounds like dial-up internet logging in!" - Chris O I became a convert to Clough style after one day listening to recordings of Billy P playing Holey Ha'penny, immediately followed by Tom Clough's rendition. "The book" is a direct result of that incident. Julia To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
