I am going through and getting all the titles you mention or played. Seems a great way to start a library to learn. In the middle of the prairie, my access to Celtic anything is mostly limited by the region. A few Irish pubs in Sioux Falls but I don't drink much and the potential to lose my job is too great. So the internet rules for my enjoyment of this type of music. Thanks again for putting these up!
Nice avatar picture!

Creativity is just doing something wierd and finding out others like it.
Week 32 - only 20 more weeks to go! Another reel for ye, "The Mossy Banks", goes well after "Iniscealtra", which was an earlier Tune of the Week. It's a three part reel but I only played it through once as wasn't confident of getting through it a second time!

Two more fine entries, Jill. Amazing that you have managed not only to keep finding the tunes, but to play them at a consistently very high standard.

Assuming you have CM Bluegrass series strings on your Girouard as this is what Max normally installs on new builds , are you sticking by these or experimenting with others ? I just received CM Monel strings and will give these a try but very happy with the CM Bluegrass series strings on my Girouard oval ! I still always go back to GHS A270's for my Ellis F and A 5 mandolins. Just put CM Monels on my Ellis F5 but jury still out !
Really nice! I liked that one a lot. If I was the type onget jealous I would be. Dry jealous, but I’m not. Instead You make me want to practice more! Thanks!

Cheers John! It's definitely helped that I've been taking tenor banjo lessons from Angela Usher since January so I've learnt a ton of tunes from her, and I've also gone back and relearnt tunes I knew ages ago but never got around to recording - this would be one of them - I first learnt this one back in Ireland when I was taking banjo lessons from Angelina Carberry but haven't really played it since then so about 11 years ago!

Fiddler friend of mine who used to run a learning session brought this one to us once upon a time and I've always loved it. Forgot about it over the years, but now I'm up for relearning it -- many thanks!

Very nice -- and the mandolin just sounds sweeter every tune!

Jill, how many times have you changed strings over the course of the vids and do you remember at which week before or after the vid? Just curious, listening to the first and this last one the differences I hear in tone form then to now if it is just me or related to something else. I like the sound now more so than the first 10 or so vids. They seemed to me to have a bit more of something, I don't know the word to use a bit of edge maybe, that I don't hear now.

Haven't changed strings at all - in fact I'm way overdue for a string change. You may be hearing a difference in sound due to me playing around with mic placement for the first few videos, trying to find the sweet spot between not too close and not too far away.

Same room, though I did change the location/angle in the room I was sitting out as it seemed to work out better as far as the acoustics go - I'm in a basement apartment with low ceilings so at the mercy of that environment. I use a Zoom Q8 video camera with two Rode NT3 mics set up - one pointing towards the bridge area and one pointing towards where the neck joins the body.
