Hi everyone:
Ray Caldwell will be our guest leader this week.
If anyone hasn’t yet accessed youtube.com, you might want to have a look. There are literally hundreds (000’s?) of videos of musicians playing ITM, some famous (e.g. Kane Sisters) and many amateurs. There are 3 containing the 3 Sea Captains tune, one where it is being danced to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftnNRGgQL0c
and this is probably the speed that we should be playing it at the Chris Langan weekend.
Another example is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO348UUhZzc where the piper plays the Scholar at normal tempo and then slowly, to help you learn the notes. Take a break from accessing ITM stuff and try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lbvSBNLLoo to see Tommy Emmanuel blazing away on his guitar..
Maybe we should video our performance and post it on youtube for all the world to see….. Hmmm.
See you on Wed. Come early and get one of the inner-circle seats which are always in high demand.
Regards,
Mike

Hi everyone:

Hope you all had a great summer and had lots of opportunities to play your instruments.
The Tranzac sessions (2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month) will start next Wednesday, September 12 anytime after 7pm. There may be some new participants and I’m sure that our ‘regulars’ will introduce themselves and make them feel welcome. Unfortunately, I can’t make it to this session but I will see you all on the 26th.

Regards,
Mike Casey
