I wouldn't think so. I hope you didn't think I was asking a pointed question since you didn't answer. Depending on your answer I may have had a answer that may have been a slight help.

I think you gave Larry Nugent as the source of your setting.I don't know his setting so would you say your setting of it 1/ resembles his ,or, 2/ is basically his setting? How closely did you pick out the tune?
Arbo
IMHO it's down to the player. If it works for them. My opinion is like I said before,if the player has a good feel for ITM, and the musicality to make it work fire away. I think you are well down that road. Having said that I hope to be able to get the time and disipline to try to get as close as I can to some players performance of tunes. I'd say the first time I did this was recently with Josh's playing of the Fahy jig. I think it's a useful excerise for me. I would then change these tunes so they are no longer a copies. By flowing as closly players who you admire one may have to figure out aspects of their approach / technique which can then be included ones own playing. Others may find that a teadius approach, no problem.
