Och I was hamming it up a bit, but I always get a little nervous before meeting people; I'm a shy wee boy at hart, I mean heart. > Have a spot of something nice to drink and you'll be just fine. I did and I was. It was very informal with a 5-string banjo player with a very sense of timing and a bonkers accordionist who was a lot of fun. We ranged from The Bluebell Polka through Scotland the Brave/Thistle of Scotland/Barren Rocks to Oh Susannah/Dixie/Camptown Races. However, they told me of a fortnightly session in a pub in the next village which sounds great! When I left Edinburgh I also left a couple of bands I was playing with, so I don't often get to play much outside of teaching and the slow session which I lead myself (which is like teaching). I've also been asked to join a band for one night playing at a ceilidh at the end of the month, so I'm going to be playing quite a bit! -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

OK. Best of Luck. Let us know how it goes and what tunes are played. Any further word yet on your Mandolin Workshop in February?

>Yippee!... >Boo!... >I'm a little nervous and having difficulty remembering what I know Nigel, thanks for reassuring all of us that we are not alone in our musical insecurities! I used to make lists of tunes I knew too and occasionally I still find them in various files. Usually there are a bunch of tunes I've forgotten on the old lists! - Kate D. -- Kate Dunlay & David Greenberg Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada http://www.total.net/~dungreen Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [scots-l] Session Tonight - Where are my tunes?
Dearest Nigel, You sound like a nervous wreck! Which is somewhat curious since you've played in public many many time. Have a spot of something nice to drink and you'll be just fine.
