I have looked up that reference, gflee and it does sound similar. However, this tune was completely and independently original to me, and I did not base it on any other song at all. I actually started writing it with the smallpipes in mind because I wanted something clean, simple and direct as far a...

Thanks, but yes I did know that. The problem was when my translation program, as I do not type in English, sent the file with the name in it, it tries to convert the Gaelic and does so improperly. It tends to do that with certain phrases that in English would make no sense. You are correct in assumi...

Easy Dance tune
First off, thanks to David Siegel for adding the grace notes to this tune for me and arranging the piece for such. This was written for the smallpipes in an Irish-style, that is, originally without grace notes. I normally always improvised the grace notes but after a while I started using the same d...

I thought I would put my two cents in the hat here. I did not re-arrange anything but just transposed a few chords into the piece for a mandolin. I played it on the smallpipes alongside that mandolin and a Celtic harp. It was unbelieveable. A great tune whether played up-tempo a little or slower. Ve...

Indeed I have finally played this one for a group of Highland dancers. It fits the part of a fling perfectly, as said by AWPIPER. I really like this one because it is, at least to me, a light and easy jig that one could quite comfortably just get up and dance to in the middle of somebody playing it ...

Once again, King David, you have outdone yourself! WONDERFUL! I play this tune for step dancers to dance to and it is very nice. We choreographed a set of interaction between both hard shoe and soft shoe dancers. For the hard shoe dancers I play at normal speed, then as the soft shoes enter it slows...
