I've picked up violin again after many years and am trying to learn from the sheet music, limited I realize, but it's what I do, and I don't have access to CD's or live music, just youtube. I like slow tunes like Inisheer Waltz and Crested Hens and weird time signatures and about everything, and what I don't like I might like if I could only play it. I'm a Hoosier in Texas.
(Starts listening to mp3's) Oh, dearie me. This opens up a whole new realm of impossibilities. I'll NEVER be able to play like that, or even close. I'll NEVER be able to get any of those other good instruments and learn them, too. I'll NEVER find anyone with the patience to play with me or teach me something. (Stops whining.)
As a beginning tin whistler I'm trying to learn Monferrina, Old Gort Road, Muneira De Chantada, Paddy's Whiskers, King of the Fairies, Waterman's, Friendly Visit, Arran Boat Song, and my favorite -- One Bottle More. And Thank you Sean (in Edor), See Emily Fly, Rolling in the Rye Grass, Leaping Lulu, Kerfunken, Honeysuckle, Highlanders Revenge, Tar Road to Sligo, Blackthorn Stick, 99 March, 98 March... I thought when I started that this instrument would be rather limited -- but I Can't Stop Playing!!!
