Paddy Fahey's
This is the second Fahey tune in a set of jigs on The Well Tempered Bow by Liz and Yvonne Kane, following the Paddy Fahey's jig I posted here yesterday.
This one's a bit more of a finger twister on fiddle, and definitely gets your bow jumping across the strings, but it doesn't need to go fast to sound good, so ease into it. I like the lope that Liz and Yvonne give to it, emphasized with some well-placed cuts and triplets. Watch for that lone c sharp in the B part.

this is wierd. i can't get this tune to print out from my abc2win program. i've never had this problem before. all the other recent tunes work fine. any ideas?
# Posted on February 27th 2004 by Dont
It could be one of several factors. I'm no abc expert, and I don't mess with abc software at all, so I'm probably blowing smoke here. But...does it matter whether there's a space bewteen the colon and the labels in the abc header fields? You could try deleting the space. Also, I neglected to put a double bar line at the end of the A part. Could that be fouling things up? Finally, maybe abc2win doesn't like the line of text introducing the final ending. Delete that and give it a try.
