As well as the username thing, you (or at least I) can't access any tunes. If I click on a tune in the Tunes page, it just takes me straight to the Tunes page. In other words, it just refreshes the page I'm on.

Sashiko calico.....ego? Ego? What ego?
it is possible to be an alcoholic without drinking anything. If you are a railfan and you like the locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (otherwise known as ALCO), you could be an ALCOholic.
I may have mis-spoken in my earlier post. What I meant to say was "I like f#s blunted when fiddling the pure drop tune whose name I don't remember but that my grandfather got from the daoine beag."
OK, this website was conceived at a time when hard drive space and band width made impossible the practicalities of making recordings available. But times have moved on and the midi files, every last feckin one of them, should be deleted immediatly.
Thank you sashiko calico. Since I am a railfan, one of the other web sites which I participate in is called "railroad.net". Although it is based here in the U.S., railroad.net does have several members from other countries (including yours). As a result, I am familiar with the term "trainspotter".

Re: Who are the contributors ?
The 'hol' in 'alcoholic' comes from 'alcohol'. There is no 'hol' in the word 'session'. Therefore, one who is addicted to sessions is a 'sessionic'.

It wasn't too bad, as there were four more bodhran players at the session, and one of them had a spare anyway, but it made me think: music stands can be quite hazardous. what do you seasoned sessioners do about sheet music? Is there some kind of sturdy music stand I haven't come across, especially for Irish music pubs?
Many thanks....

There's a virtual music stand which appears when you join the dots; otherwise, you've got to play it by ear and see what happens.
