Yes to both, and the acoustic doesn't help at all.
And a curious choice of drone, which on my headset seemed to be the
subdominant.
I admire anyone, though, who can honestly say they've never played too

intentions, when nervous a

Hello Anthony,
I don't think we disagree. At Stuart Hardy's musical altitude, I'm sure you're
right.
That's a level I can only admire but never approach. On a more basic level,
playing the tune with a dotted rhythm will get you through in a far less
exposed manner than playing straight, which

travelling in the old days would not have been that
A good point - but if a musical style has any merit, it's worth
studying for musical reasons alone.
That's why, in Ireland, so many non-Kerrymen play slides and polkas
