Two unrelated questions

Two unrelated questions

Sorry to lump these, in but I thought it would be less messy than doing two topics.

first, can someone name me this tune; all I can remember is this tiny part:
http://soundcloud.com/fred-holden/that-blasted-tune/s-6DTQ0
sorry I can't remember any more, but hopefully if you know the tune that'll ring a bell.

Secondly, can anyone give me any left hand tips for part c of Maiden Lane on a d/g?

Thanks!

Fred

lovely tune, timmy, but that's not it i'm afraid. I think it's a jig

Re: Two unrelated questions

That's not a jig you're playing, Fred. I think you'll need to give us more to work on.

"Tripping over the bogs" by John McSherry perhaps?

I learned the tune from a friend and had no name for it until I saw one in the comments of this video.

Re: Two unrelated questions

Agree with Kenny. That bit you provided could be the start of several tunes :-)

Re: Two unrelated questions

it's not the start of anything, it comes in the middle of the b section. and Brown Ale Mugger, that's the tune exactly! Thankyou so much

Re: Two unrelated questions

This thread has proved one thing. Just how remarkably good some people are at recognising a tune from a vague fragment!
