Mrs. Hamilton Of Pencaitland - Scottish slow air (not a reel).

I got this tune off English melodeon player Tony Hall's fairly recent album "Mr. Universe", on which it is beautifully played. I don't know anything about its history.

Hello, is anybody there?

# Posted on December 13th 2006 by ceolachan

There you are!!!

Sorry nicholas, I'm just looking for trouble and you came along...

What I was curious about, is it played to a steady rhythm or is it more free form? Also, is it a recent composition? That should be in the liner notes for the album...

Also, let Jeremy know, there seems to be something wrong with the midi?

Mrs. Hamilton

ceolachan - steady 4/4 rhythm, a bit like Da Slockit Light only I think a bit slower. I got the disc from a friend who gave me a lot of downloads the other day, so have no album notes. My ethic is to buy the music of people I respect, but when it's not in the shops and a mate passes by with a few downloads I'll cave in easily - not that it happens every day!

I picked up on your latest notes re. KOTF - the Pope ought to have banned that tune - I'm still thinking of a suitable riposte. If I ever come to your session I'll eat a head of raw garlic on the way.

Wrong sort of Vamp-ire ~ I love garlic... Now beets are another thing...

The comparison with playing 'Da Slockit'?! ~ I like that...
