Got the Session A9 CD and have been playing it non-stop for a day or two now. Saw the name of this tune in the requests list so I wrote it out. The B music is tricky to notate!

I see someone's reclassified it as a slide, which since it's partly in 12/8 is probably a good idea, although if you were tapping your foot to this you would probably tap 1,2,3,4,5,6 rather than 1and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 ....

Uhmm! a slide?
I wonder why someone reclassified it as such? It might be in 12/8 but that does not automatically make it a slide. certainly not in this case. The phrasing is more in keeping with a 3/2 (exceptfor the 'B' music obviously) but with lots of quavers, 3 groups of 4 in fact, whereas a slide has 4 groups of triplets. Quite a different rhythm really. I certainly count it as: 1+2+3+ or "diddle-iddle, diddle-iddle, diddle-iddle"

I think 'slide' means 'it starts in 12/8 for the purposes of ABC headers'

Yea! that sounds right but it might have been nice and considerate of the person who reclassified it to have stated his/her reasons as clarification. To many of us it is obvious that it isn't a slide but it is possible that there are those new to irish music who would benefit from some clarity. Incidently, what was your original classification?
