It was another endless day. Some people hate Mondays; I hate
Fridays more. I rushed to finish, not only to be done by sundown,
but also to make it home and clean up in time for the music I was
assured would be taking place. E-flat, one of my oldest friends
and twins, hangs out with some of the coolest musicians in the
country. Every now and then some of them stop by to say hello.
Tonight, two people who play in a band with her (they’ll be at the Burren tomorrow
from 5-7pm; go see them!) and an old friend from H-town showed up to
jam. Two more filled out a string sextet, and we all made merry until midnight.
“[One] little, [one] big” — so goes the title of an old Irish air by Turlough O’Carolan, from an ancient legend.
By the time I thought to record the session, and gave up looking for an
external mic, this is what was being played. The sextet had just
broken up, and we were down to duets. This recording doesn’t
begin to do the music justice, but perhaps captures a taste of
its spirit.
Si Bheag Si Mhor : From our house tonight | Planxty‘s fabulous recording from the 70’s.
I’m pleased that you like Si Bheag Si Mhor as I do. I’m slightly flattered that you found my mp3 file at my mp3 blog & linked to it. But really that’s not cool. Please get your own copy of this song & upload it to your own server. What you’re doing is allowing all of your readers who listen to the song to piggyback on my bandwidth (& I don’t even get the benefit of having the readers visiting my site).
There is a warning at the end of the post I wrote about this song asking fellow bloggers not to do precisely what you have done. So please be cool and play nice & link to the song on your own server & not on mine.
Thanks for doing the right thing…
