X: 2 ~ “The Dorsetshire Hornpipe” ~ swung with fun

But it’s also driving me nuts as I keep dropping into a different B-part and so far haven’t been able to figure out where this is coming from ~ any help is appreciate, keeping it simple:

@Ceolachan - Have you just made up that setting?

It says on this website: “Do you know another version of this tune?”

Did you REALLY know another version of it? Or did you, as I suspect, just make one up? If so, this is hardly the place to post it.

It’s good that the website is now allowing multiple versions of tunes. But I don’t think that this facility should be abused. 🙁 🙁 🙁

The more versions the merrier!

If you craft a version of a tune, then you know it. I, for one, am very interested in what other folk make of the tunes.

It’s OK mus, I didn’t think it was worthy of comment… 😛 I hope I can remember to avoid Mix’s contributions in future. It seems some folks think their way is the only way, in all kinds of pursuits. Hell, I even avoided adding the snaps… 😀

Three sad smilies in a row to emphasize his disapproval, that really is ~ sad? 😀
