Chatting and Reeling

carrie · Post by **carrie** » Mon Jan 27, 2003 10:29 pm

This evening in the chat room, energy was complaining that his day had been *really* boring. So some of us decided that we needed to do something reely, I mean, really interesting to offset that ennui. It's a chat room, after all--certainly SOMEthing interesting could be done in a chat room! So of course we decided to collaborate and write a reel, in real-time! The no-longer-quite-so bored young energy started us out with the first few measures; then the great peeplj added the next few measures; I myself threw in a few, and before long the ever-adventurous and rambling avanutria had finished off our A part. Next we reeled in StevieJ who got a rocking pedal going in Part B, and then energy himself tied the tune together with the final ideas, while all the while Lark fed us midi files as our abc's grew. We call our little joint project (*clears throat and announces*) A Real Reel. Avanutria recorded this reely lovely version of it.

It was really

fun. Glad to have been a part of it.

Pretty!

Ava, what kind of whistle is that?

Best wishes,

Copeland low D brass. I could do it faster on a high but it was pretty late at night and that tune goes to second octave B!

Reely nice. So *that's* what you get up to in the Chat Room is it?

And that's why I love this board! That's quite an evocative reel. Great job & lovely sound, Beth.

Sorry that I missed it! I was busy recovering from dress rehearsal at faire, among other things. Guess I'll have to pop into the chat room more often...

It's pretty, though it isn't 2% Irish. It sounds like something you would hear waiting on line for a leg of lamb at a Rennaisance Festival. Pretty, though.

Hey! We play traditional Irish, and often busk around the food lines! grrr....

I resemble that remark...

So, Carol, you ever notice the interesting stuff always happens when I'm not on?

Walden, we missed you; and our tune does lack that old-time reeligious feel you would have brought to it.

Now you've went and done it! You inspired me to get out my harp rack and my French-harp and bouzouki and make a recording.

MP3.

Good thing my tambourine was out of comission!
