Great sound! I notice you speed up considerably in the B part of the flute piece. I don't think you breathe too much.
thanks for the comment. your clips sound good -- nice solid tone you have. the whistle clip is really good too. i have a bleazey too, don't play it much but i might have to give it a turn after hearing your clip. thanks for posting.Gabriel wrote:

nice playing, too - your flute has a nice buzz.
I also took a recording and added it to my signature. I'm happy to read your comments

CORNELIUS CURTIN'S BIG BALLOON (Balún Mór Chonchúir Mhic Cruitín). AKA and see “Captain Holmes,” “Hide and Go Seek.” Irish, Jig. E Minor. Standard. AAB. Fiddler Con Curtain ran a pub for many years in Fulham, south London called The Balloon, (or The Big Balloon), though most Irish music session pubs were north of the river. Of late he and his wife Anne run a pub in Brosna, north Kerry. Con gives what he considers irrelevancies short shrift, guitarist Paul de Grae relates, as he did on one occasion when a visitor to Con's pub complained of the absence of a lock on the men’s toilet door. Expletives deleted, Con's reply was that he had never heard of anyone in Kerry stealing sh*t. Sligo flute player Tommy Healy has been credited with coming up with the title in lieu of the original one which had been lost. Source for notated version: flute player Paddy Carty (Ireland) [Breathnach]. Breathnach (CRÉ III), 1985; No. 22, pg. 11. Shanachie 29001, "Paddy Carty."

The jig is called Cornelius Curtin's Big Balloon. It is played by the great Paddy Carty, among others, although that would most likely be the oldest recording.

OK, for all the times you were cranky: much too happy a tune for you to play...cocusflute wrote:Now's your chance to get even for all the times I've been cranky. It's a lovely tune. Wish I could do it justice.

Great job! I'll be in Kinvara next week and maybe dancing into north Clare. Hopefully I'll hear more tunes like that when I'm there.cocusflute wrote:Now's your chance to get even for all the times I've been cranky.
