Playlist June 2013

Three months on since the last one. Not a massive amount of difference in the two lists, perhaps, but more tunes waiting in the wings now. I see the Dragon has been kicking about since January.

I think I'm picking tunes up faster. Either I'm just getting better at learning them, or I am getting better at persevering and playing them over and over instead of once or twice each time I play.

I do need sets. I don't seem to be very good at identifying tunes that will work together. I hear sets I like, but there will be one or two tunes I can't find dots for, or can't play. I'm also not sure if it's OK just to pinch other people's ideas for sets.

Tunes I can play without dots

• The Atholl Highlanders (I don't play this often and never get  it played to my satisfaction, despite not needing dots)
• Banks of Allen (but I play this rarely...)
• Battle of Waterloo (near as dammit)
• Bonnie Galloway
• The Barren Rocks of Aden (accuracy still not great)
• Castle Dangerous
• Eagle's Whistle (I keep forgetting that I know this one)
• Flett from Flotta
• The March of the King of Laoise
• My Home Town
• The Rowan Tree
• South Georgia Whaling Song
• Teribus

Tunes languishing and never quite making it to the list above

• Battle of Waterloo
• Leaving Barra

Tunes I am actively learning

• Alick C McGregor
• The Battle of the Somme
• The Boy's Lament for his Dragon
• The Highland Brigade at Magersfontein
• The Shetland Fiddler
• Troy's Wedding
