Welcome, Chris - I have a brother in Houston who used to play guitar and is excellent on harmonica, but that's a bit of a hike from Lubbock. Ralph ... -- Ralph...
Hi Ralph (sorry to post this to others), I photocopied the version of Roscommon that I play. Send me you mailing address (my e mail if it doesn't show here is...
I'm the newbie with the hammered dulcimer. It was such a pleasure to play with you all on Sunday and I very much appreciate the warm welcome. Your smiles and...
Hi, all - I've made a few alterations to the set/tune files. Lord Mayo / Boy's Lament for his Dragon and Monaghan's Twig / Wild Irishman are out. Also, the My...
of our tune sets. If anyone knows of other people who might want to join us, please invote them. Hopefully, we will keep adding new sets over time and develop...
I agree about C.man's Rambles - sweet tune. What would go well with it? Might be fruitful to see what other musicians have put it with in recordings/sessions. ...
Hi all. Thanks for welcoming me into your little session. I hope to have some time over the President's week vacation to look through some of your sets. Just...
Hey folks, I'm Chris. I just registered yesterday on an invite from Ted. Thank you, Ted! :-) That pgh.pdf is quite a collection of tunes. I'm going to send it...
Welcome to the group, Chris. I hope you will find some interesting information here. If you run across any tune books that seem good, please post them here...
Actually I have been able to start a session here. However, it's turned out to be more of blues & folk song circle rather than an ITM session. LOTS of guitar...
Hey everybody. I'm sorry to have missed you the last few weeks. I hope to be around next Sunday. In the meantime, I have posted a couple of tunes on my podbean...
Just a reminder that Daylight Savings Time starts at 2 am on Sunday. Spring ahead! Thank goodness Winter is almost over, though the forecast for Sunday night...
I put up a couple of sets on you tube.Perhaps someone wants to give them a shot? Arbo Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h86z0emKWCs (jigs) ...
Hi - I won't be at the session this week, because I'll be out of town. I did upload some sets, though. Slow but steady. I think I have most of the sets done...
Thanks for your diligence, Ralph. See you in 2 weeks. Ted Cahill 86 Main St. Shelburne Falls, MA 01370 413-834-1055 In a message dated 6/8/2009 9:49:02 P.M....
Hi, All - That's about all I have at the moment. I also have some sets I don't remember ever playing at Mocha Maya's, as well as some sets with tunes (or...
Hi Ralph, When we see each other next, we can figure out keys for ashplant/kitty/taproom. I know Ashplant exists in a couple of keys (at least on recordings I...
Hey Ted, nice playing with you folks today. You're sounding great on the flute, and the banjo (what little I heard!). I'm afraid some of those jigs sets were a...
Woah, woah, woah, Hey! You definitely do NOT suck. I guess this just goes to show, though, that we are all our own harshest critics. I had a total blast...
I agree with Arbo, I think those are right. One common variation I find in these tunes is in the B part of Ashplant where there are phrases that jump up. The...
Thanks, Ted and Arbo. I'm still going to have to look a little more closely, I think. I have "Ashplant" notated in G, Em, E dorian, F#m, and G dorian. The only...
Hey Ralph, I appreciate al the work you are doing on the Yahoo Group. It might be a good idea to poll the members to see who uses the sheet music you are ...
I think that's a great idea, Ted. We could just have a list of tunes and the recordings with good versions or that we learned the tunes from. That would be...
Hello All, I'm new to the group, so having the tune list and set list available on the web site is very useful to me. I read music and I've been using the ...

I'm a new member chiming in so please take this with a large grain of salt and don't assume any zealotry. This is not a big deal with me, just an opinion I...
Hi Bob, It's good you're getting into this. Just a caution, though. Over and over (and over) I've read and heard from experienced, credible people that Irish...
