~ so, are these the only ones you know?

"The tunes that you see on the session that are submitted by me are written by me." ~ ???

A 'comment' might be welcomed. If all you submit are your own compositions, as said in your 'details', and nothing else, obviously you haven't bothered to read the FAQs, a simple act of consideration for the webmaster and the rest of us. But, all that said, at least say something about your acts of creation, maybe a reason behind the name, rather than just 'dump and run'??? I'd also be curious to know why you don't know any trad tunes you could contribute in balance? :-/

Oh, that Joe Devins, who generally doesn't comment ~ except ~

To tell us how you are solving this awful problem with tradition ~

" ~ the lack of slip jigs there are in traditional music."

Let's see, this is at least four compositions in a row and only one you bothered to comment on when niggled a little. Well, now here's a little bit more of a niggle, having been responsible for starting off the last one... Is this your answer to our lack of regular jigs in traditional music?

So far your tally, four or more acts of your 'genius' in a row, is that you might owe at least 20 traditional tunes just to make up for that. I'd double it for the gall to suggest there is a shortage of slip jigs and also that you think you've the answer to that imagined shortfall...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that your 'tunebook' has remained at '0' for the life of your membership?

This tune starts out promisingly in the first bar or two and then comes to nothing. I especially don't like the gimmicky 7-bar B-part and the lack of balance between the part endings.

Sorry, and why would I come to his defense? ~ because I'm narked at you Dow ~ it ain't 7-bars, just look a bit closer, get your reading glasses on ~ let me adjust the spacing so your blurred vision can read it more easily :-P ~

# Posted on October 8th 2007 by ceolachan

Oh yeah. Apologies. There's still no balance or agreement between the parts though.

# Posted on October 8th 2007 by Dow

Yeah, it's a ______ tune...

# Posted on October 8th 2007 by ceolachan

Especially, as you've pointed out, the B-part...

# Posted on October 8th 2007 by ceolachan

Damn, this tune-police uniform is chaffin' in all the wrong places. Who designed these things? Who uses starch anymore? And why bright chartreuse?

I dont know where the first and second time bars came from in Trip To Eriskay I certainly didnt put them there.
Anyway, in defense of my first comment, regarding the lack of slip jigs, this was obviously a grammatical error on my part. You both knew what I meant though.
I disagree about the balance between the first part and the second part. You have your opinion though, and you certainly voice that,(which I like.)

# Posted on October 8th 2007 by joe devins

The ABC notation that you first contributed was converted by the software into what we now have...

Originally you had the second line so ~

DFA d2 B | BAF ABB | dfa eff | dBA B3 :|: a2 a afe

That was turned into a second ending... C'est la vie! :-/

Crooked tunes

IMHO, if you can't dance to it its not a proper tune. I can't see what you would do to this composition so in my book its not a tune of any sort, let alone a traditional one.
However, I am always open to persuasion. Perhaps someone who likes this tune could suggest the figures and steps.

It's 32 bars, honest!!! ~

I can't believe I'm rising to the defense of this yet again... I still think it loses it in the second part, but it is actually 32 measures. Bad or sloppy ABCs lead to a mistake where the first measure of the B-part became the 2nd ending of the A-part, leaving a 7-bar B-part... See my transcript of his tune here in the comments.

I have to say, it isn't the act of inspiration and wanting to share it that drives me batty, aside from me being a grouch these few days, it is four compositions in a row, without comment, by someone who show no real interest in anything else except his own creations...and doesn't bother to read the FAQs and extend respect to the site and its webmaster and members by not swamping us with the potentially endless flow of his 'composing'...nuff said...
