recorded on many instruments that you may enjoy playing along
with. Its at:

Happy Holidays to everyone

I sat in with a Bluegrass band's practice session once.
One of the wives said, "It sounds like that Celtic crap to me!!",
so needles to say I didn't persue it further, ha ha ha

Hi, Maid from the Parish of Penderyn and Megan's Granddaughter are two Welch duets and easy and sound nice. I have recorded simple versions of both of them. See my clips on CD Baby at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lollycross and http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lollycross2 I can e-mail you the sheet music if yo...

Hi all, My new album is called Christmas Carols and it is 70 minutes of tunes you have heard every Christmas since childhood. There is no singing on this tho, just lead melody on the Penny Whistle with Violin, French Horn, Guitar, Mandolin, Irish Flute, Oboe, Alto Recorder, Hammered Dulcimer and Ban...

Hi,
This is a GREAT whistle, right? I am just wondering why this one
wouldn't be the whistle-of-choice for all your playing???

Hi,
I'm looking for a Uilleann player around the Sacramento area or
anyone closer yet to Reno where I live. Is anyone near me?
Lolly

Yes, Sandy, and yes, Wombat,
these are much more constructive things to tell me.
Thank you.
I will work on them for my next cd.

Hi all, Well, I am FINALLY getting the right words that you say will help me make my cds better. I don't understand why the first few posters could't just say right out what they didn't like, instead of PMing me and saying "it was awful", and not explaining anything. So, we have 1. not pla...

That was a good article Bill, thanks.

Me again, My husband had a question regarding this. Remember on Star Trek, Next Generation, when Data was playing his violin? Everyone said the performance was in perfect rhythm, but he didn't play with any feeling. So, if we all have to play the rhythm together perfectly, how can one play with &quo...

OK Bloomie and Azalin, those comments were helpful..... Not playing "wooden or with enough feeling"....that will be a hard one; I hate people who play and sound over-affected. How would I give tunes more feeling and still make it sound believable that those WERE my feelings about the music...

Well, I thought your clip was real "cute." I could imagine a Medieval
Fete with folks dancing around. Yes, you SHOULD finish it, you
did a good job playing it too.

Hi all, Yes, I guess my style IS "Lolly" style. Like they say on American Idol, take the tune and "make it your own". Anyway, today I had an hour so I took a walk in the country with nothing to distract me from listening except the wild Quail and bunny rabbits. I listen carefully...

But, guys, I keep telling you I'm not TRYING to play ITRAD music. You are ON THE WRONG FORUM! Wasn't it just last year they started a forum just for you people who insist everyone play ITRAd? We lost so many nice posters who wrote in things like "I had the best experience playing hymes in churc...
