New Progressive Trad Tune

[Akiba]

Hi All,

I wrote this progressive trad tune last summer called Steely's Cut. Just recorded it and wanted to share it. Here's the link:

You like it? You hate it? What do you think?

[Jayhawk]

Sweet! I like that a lot. Has a Grada-ish kind of vibe to it. Nice work!

[monoRAIL]

Very nice, and well played too.

[benhall.1]

Not my style. And yet I like it. Flookish.

Lovely playing, btw.

[Gromit]

Good tune and well played

[LorenzoFlute]

Not my style, but well composed and well played.

Thanks, Lorenzo. I definitely know it's not YOUR style--I think anything after 1940 or not on a 78 is not your style (which I applaud and support whole-heartedly).

I consider Brian Finnegan one of my teachers. He comes to the San Francisco Bay Area every 3 years or so to play with William Coulter which is when I see him, take lessons, hang out for a bit. He's in town now and I got to play this tune for him. It was a thrill, and he asked for a recording of it, so that's what this is.

Touché
I do enjoy the style of several modern players though: Conal O Grada, Harry Bradley, Catherine McEvoy, Desi Wilkinson, Frankie Gavin etc etc

Hard not to like those master fluters.

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

I was displeased with the sound quality of the recording, so I returned the mic and got a much better one. Here's a better sounding clip on Brenda Stubbard's, one time through:

These two tunes may make a good set....hmmm...

Beautiful playing as always and a great tune as well!
Have you composed any in the more traditional vein?
If so could you post them?

If you look in my "Fluting Sound Clips" under my signature, you'll find two trad tunes, a reel and a jig, the Fox and McGoldie's, that I would say are I Trad.

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.
