Very nice playing, sgarrity and CelticDude. You made my version sound like slow motion Bertram, thanks for your kind words.
Here's mine, still a little rough but showing the main features of doublestops and tripletlessnesslessnesslessness...
Very nice Bertram. You make that octave sing!
Wow Bertram, I really like that rendition!
Very nice gang. I'm just starting on it. I'm using Martin's melojian version to get the basic tune down and then I'll add my flubs and brain-burps to finish it and make it unrecognizable... The dance-speed I'll achieve will be aimed at the "older set" - please make sure your walker frames have tennis balls on the front feet to avoid gouging the dance-floor...
Great, Bertram. You made my desk (and the speakers) vibrate.
Thanks Shaun, Martin, Eddie and Manfred. Manfred, that wasn't me rocking your desk, that was Eyjafjallajökull.... Funny I didn't notice, being north from you Eddie, looking forward to your senior version...
Bertram, I like it!
After a week away from home (on a volcano-induced odysee through Western Europe), I have today revisited this tune, this time on my 4-string electric mando. This is a Kentucky KM300E, with a Bill Lawrence mini humbucker replacing the stock lipstick pickup. Recorded with a microphone in front of the amp speaker. The recording setup appears to have some problems capturing the tone -- I use a very clean sound here, but somehow there is some distortion on the recording that didn't come out of the speaker. Probably some interference between the recording circuits and the amp/pickup signal chain. Martin
Thanks OS, I am especially glad you do! Martin, that distortion noise sounds to me like either a nonlinear reaction to excess volume on the input chain (mic ... soundboard) or a compression artefact of the recorder or youtube. Funny that it starts only a few seconds into the tune - that seems to point to the recorder (if it runs on your computer: was there some background process running and stealing CPU from the recorder?) Apart from that, very clean indeed!
Thanks, Bertram. I suspect that it was the recorder -- I record on my laptop and it was spinning the hard disc a lot during some of the my recording. Probably a virus scan, as none of the apps running at the time should have needed much hard disc access. Next time I'll also keep the mike further away from the laptop: they were both sitting on the same table and I think the background hum is caused by the table vibrating slightly. Martin
The background hum is probably the laptop's fan... We "automatically" suppress it but machines record everything... Keep the laptop and the mic apart...the farther the better...
OK, time to fish... played on a Kimble AR...
Rich flurbling triplets, Eddie - walking frames in the trembling hands of senior citizens? Lovely relaxed version!
Eddie, that was great! And I don't care WHAT that mean ole lady said on the regular forum, you are NOT a doofus!
Doofus? isn't that Gaelic for "man of great knowledge"??
If Doofus IS Gaelic for 'man of great knowledge', then I take it back.... you ARE a doofus!
Too late It sounded etymologically familiar to me, and - yes!
Very nice, Eddie. And, not just relaxed playing, but also a relaxed position, even if it's not what Mike Marshall recommends.
Holding the mando at an angle saves me the price of a toneguard...
<Slow learner raises his hand from the back of the room> Question about the last measure of the first part of the TEF file referenced in Barbara's original post: If this tune is in 4/4 (maybe it's not), it looks like either an eighth rest is missing after the three 1/8 notes at the end, or maybe that should be two eighths and a quarter? And measure 15 in the B part seems to do the something similar. But what's that first note doing? Looks especially odd in the notation. Walt
Walt, the last measure of the A part is missing one beat which is the pickup note to both the A & B part. It is a common short cut form of notation to utilize these "pick up" notes and short measures instead of writing out 1st and 2nd endings for every tune. If you're looking for notation here's how Jerry Holland wrote it: http://www.jerryholland.com/tunes/BrendaStubberts.gif
Ah, so. But of course! Thanks for pointing out the (now) obvious, David!
Here's another take on this great tune, frae 'tother side o' the Pond!
I learned this tune 30 weeks ago but never recorded it. Here it is now with my latest progress on tripplets.
Marcelyn, that was fantastic. Nice triplets, too, i think you really nailed it. liked the Silhouette effect.
Thanks, Mike. Hey, have you tried triplets on the ukelin?
Sweet chirping rendition there Marcelyn. Looks like dawn, with the world still asleep. triplets on the ukelin careful, he might actually do it!
Thanks Bertram, and I guess it's a little too late to unring that bell, but no ukelin versions of Brenda Stubberts so far.
I always wanted to redo this one with an orchestral setting, and now I have my chance:
Ahoy there! Very enjoyable, thanks David.
Great fun combined with great playing, David.
What a great tune!
Great playing and animation, David! Another one I should re-visit -- I enjoyed this tune when I learned all the way back in 2010, but I haven't really looked at it since then. Martin
Thanks folks, it is a tune with many rhythmic possibilities (many of which I managed to miss).
Excellent, all round performance, David.
