Kitchen Sessions: Con Cassidy’s + Daniel Collins’ Father’s Jig

in bardic •  6 years ago 

Con Cassidy’s + Daniel Collins’ Father’s Jig on my Celtic Sweetone. 🎶

These were two of the earliest jigs I learned, thanks to my grandmother’s support of my Irish music habit. She saw in the newspaper that an Irish band called “Glen Road” was going to be playing at a local church and got us tickets. 🙂 I walked away with a CD called “The Tidy Cottage” by flute player Turlach Boylan, and after a hefty amount of fangirling 🤣 I set about immersing myself in the nuances of playing jigs, and beginning to play by ear. 💕 I was so proud of myself for learning that first jig on my own!! It has stuck with me to this day.

Thank you! Gotta do something to keep warm, lol. (Temp is around 20* tonight.... ❄️☃️)

Whoa! Playing such difficult things by ear on the flute is very cool. Not every melody is simple to pick up on a usual guitar, but I'm not talking about the wind instruments! : )

As I recall, it took me a long time to learn it. 😛 But it opened the door for more learning and new skills!
