Bedford Cross
This pleasant slide is from the playing of Tom Barrett from Bedford, Kerry. It's from his CD, 'Lios A 'Cheoil, Traditional Irish Music' (2002), where it says "This was a popular slide in the Bedford area just north of Listowel where Tom was reared in the 1920s and 30s."

This is another one I can't believe isn't already here somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Here is a transcription in D, and I'll add a G one later ~

"Terry Teehan's" / "Teehan's / "Dennis Murphy's" / "Murphy's"
To avoid a ton of recordings being related to this tune I've kept from adding these two titles for it to the alternate title list...

Nigel, not niggle ~
As happens with me, the transposition of letters...especially so when under the weather ~ still in the season of hay fever and asthma for me..."wheeze!"

It's a nice one this. I've never come across it before. We don't play enough slides in Sydney. This is one of those nice pentatonicy thingies.

Yes, lovely, but there are also variants that incorporate a c#...

Shlides ~
This has been a funny week, punctuated by slides. We both love them, playing them and dancing to them, but get fed up with the tendency to gun them, to burn them up with speed to cover up a general lack of understanding and skill, that 'appreciation' to play them with lift and humour rather than like cranking a player piano roll with mad abandonment... That misunderstanding has spread like a plague and includes dancers... ~ IMIO...

It's ok, I'll play it very quietly, in the privacy of my own home, and won't inflict it on you, 'c'.
# Posted on July 5th 2007 by Dow
You are not an affliction. Though I might have to wear sunglsses around you, there is such a powerful light given off.
My ears would rejoice at any rendition you might like to squeeze out. Where there is skill there is pleasure, where there is not there is humour...

~ and, to be honest ~ irritation is another likelihood of the latter... However, I expect much from you master Dow...and I have not as yet been disappointed...
# Posted on July 5th 2007 by ceolachan
Clarification: something the two in this place of residence share, we've never really felt irritated with those who have no pretense, but long to learn and understand, the irritation has only been with those that think they can but can't and forge ahead full steam, the delusional. I suppose we should feel pity, except there's no room for that with the kind of egos we would consider irritants... And no Mark, you are not one of those, you are a different species of irritation, one for some demented reason we welcome and appreciate...
