Aka - bb Cruella De Vil -a name given to me by Ceemonster
my initial infatuation with the "pure drop" music of clare & east galway seems to be a case of true love.
i don't think life is worth living without your accordion reeds set to about ten cents of musette...... - Oh no wait - this isnt mine! Silly me!
"the approach to playing itm, or, in this case, quote-itm-unquote, that i sometimes alternately like to think of as, Rat-a-tat-tat!, or, Lab Rodents on Meth!, or, Irish Night at Hooters! (a disgusting TGIF-ish american bar chain), is not limited to london. it is everywhere." - Ceemonster talking about Brian Kelly.
"bb, come on now. Until your grammar, punctuation, spelling are all at least decent you should refrain from taking potshots at folks' educations." - awildman...who obviously mistakes grammar for intelligence. tut tut
"bb c if you think it sounds like Irish Music, you dont have a clue
Read fiddle4s post he knows his stuff.
have you got the abc for waltzing matilda?" - written by gooseinthenettles. Who says in his/her bio that they dont play in public.....hmmmm
A little about me written by Linda (ie ceemonster);
"there is that a-bray-sive, gratuitous, ad hominem nastiness, and, last but not least, that penchant for mischaracterizing what one has said, (also known in some quarters as, lying), that had, alas, until recently, for whatever blissful reason, been absent from this site for a lovely too-short while.
as this problematic poster well knows, i nowhere said that "everyone" in ireland uses sheet music. i said it is far from bizarre, ("bizarre," being in fact this individual's word---see, when you cite someone's words in quotes, they need to have in fact used the word), and is very much the done thing in many quarters. the ascribing of the word "everyone" to me, and the mendacious use of quote marks, is the sort of dirty pool i am so sorry to see being played here again.
as for what my experiences with irish master teachers has been, they number many aside of three years at clancy week, and, nothing in anything i've said even came close to justifying this apparently reading-comprehension-handicapped individual's characterizations. is this person sloppy-drunk? or merely malicious? it's like cruella de vil on seconal, lurching around with a pitcher of gin martinis, braying at the puppies. .
[why the sarcasm]? kennedy, i don't get it either. one might not agree with my input, but the seeming inability to disagree without personalized sarcasm and ad hominem braying is so, so wearisome. please, please, please---sober up, or get some help, i don't care what the cause of it is, just desist."
