I'm Waiting for You

There are many settings for this tune, but this is what it's come down to for me. I think I listened the closest to Seamus Connolly when putting it together, but I'm influenced from many other directions as well. I find that, unless I'm the one starting the tune, I have to listen and see how the notes are arranged by whoever's playing it before I join in.

You mean you wait for them?

Do you play this with "Are You Ready Yet?"

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Kerri Brown

I guess so...

Hence the name.

I did follow "Are You Ready Yet" with this tune for a laugh, but it goes nicely actually.

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Phantom Button

Why am I always waiting for women to get ready?

Hey... nice set. I just tried this: Are You Ready Yet / I'll Be Waiting for You / Fox on the Town

What about "I'm Ready Now!" http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/3050 or is that too Danu for you?

"Are You ready Yet?"

"Almost"

"Sitting on the Throne"

I'm getting deja vu here, bigtime

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Dow

Kerri you could put "Touching Cloth" in there after "Sitting On The Throne".

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Dow

Your medley idea stinks Kerri hahahaha

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Phantom Button

Gee Dow -- your ideas are so original.

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Phantom Button

*research, research* Hey, wow, you made that exact same joke! Great minds think alike, I guess. :^)

# Posted on September 29th 2004 by Kerri Brown

Ha ha, guys. But yeah, Jack, that setting seems pretty close to how Seamus Connolly plays it. Well done for sussing out his version - I imagine the tune was probably written more simply, but Connolly has added extra little rolls and sub-notes to it all over the place.

Jack - you wouldn't ever fancy trying to submit one ofthe other ones in that set Seamus Connolly's composition 'The 13 Arches', would you?
