The abc form would be nice, and the recordings might be lengthened to have a couple times through the tunes. Just trying to make more work for you ... Thanks for your kind comments. It sounds as though we have similar experiences. With regard to your comments about the music for Winterbourn Down BM above, this requires exactly nil further work on my personal part. A few years ago Linda (the other regular musician) and I sat in her front room discussing encouraging new musicians. Nothing formal had ever been produced by the side. I wrote out all of our tunes roughly in the form that we play them (the tunes evolve over time - we get bored playing the same things over and over - and play tricks on each other - you know, the normal folkie stuff!). I then returned with two old microphones which we plugged into the two ports on her hi-fi and we sat down and recorded the total tunes of the time onto tape cassette. We then persuaded another member of the side to take out the swear words, get a commentary added and generate a CD on his system. Each tune was played through twice as you suggest. This CD was then hawked around and sold a reasonable number of copies. I transcribed all of our tunes into ABC format as soon as I had a system myself and found out about ABCs. Jo took the tunes on the webside from that CD. She is the one responsible for the shortness of the extracts - but then she just dances! We have recently updated our CD to a second edition, recorded with more professionalism, better equipment, and more tunes, but neither Linda nor I are very satisfied with the sound - but that's life. I will pass your comments on to Jo - who will probably ignore them. I did look at the website myself today and realised that the photos she has used are several years out of date - I look even sillier nowadays! If I can find one, I will send you a recent more representative image. I haven't edited my ABC file to remove wraps and other nasty things, but I'll attach it to this message for you.
