whoa ... sorry guys been off line ... we had a storm and lines were down for 2 days ....no internet ....got the shakes ... kids couldnt get on Xbox live ..... anyway, all better now ... Strange point of interest surrounding John and this falseta.....and recording it ... The weekend just past , was a bank holiday here, and i went with the kids camping .. kind of , maybe call it Glamping , in a permanently set up really big tent with a little stove in it and carpets and stuff . There is a big communal kitchen and its all solar powered lights and heating and very green energy type of thing ... Anyway , this was on the west coast of Ireland in a county called Clare, but it also happens that the national T.V. (R.T.E.)station was filming there as well.. They were filming parts for a 3 part series about a thing called the WILD ATLANTIC WAY .....ok Anyway, again .... on this site there is an enormous GeoDome structure that has the strangest echos and reflections ive heard for a while , Like you can speak and , if your standing in the right place it sounds like your own voice is coming from behind you ,,and other such bizarre effects . So since I had a guitar with me (of course) I thought, when it was not in use i would see how flamenco sounded in different areas ...and i went to experiment. About this point that T.V. crew came in and of course the sound man, was interested in the acoustics of the dome as well ... so they said " just play some stuff and we'll film it and record it '' ..........'''what!!'' So I did ... Of course one of the main things I've been playing recently to get it right was Johns Falseta for the challenge ....and i may have 'accidentally' played it ... and got it recorded in high quality by the R.T.E . Mobile out n about unit... Hence, it is actually possible that , since John lives in the same country as me and gets the same T.V. Channels ... he may, one day see a programme about stuff from the west coast , and hear his own falseta coming back at him .....oops ... not sure if i could use it for my entry .. it seems a bit ..over the top technology , recorded for an entry .... gotta say it came out pretty good though ..... Funny what twists and turns life chucks out .....If I had have actually went to the studio and said ' can you record this for me? ' .. .... well..we all know what the answer would have been ... and yet if your in the right place at the right time ... They also filmed my kids (twins) playing inside of a giant climbing frame that is inside of a tree in a wood ....more chance of that clip being shown if truth be told .... phew ....

i'm afraid thats classified information under Government Security Classifications Policy ... however .. I am at liberty to say that i do not really work like that , i just pick a speed in my head that I think it will work at and that i am comfortable playing it at , getting those 2 things together is the only way to go ... Sometimes I play it fast and it just sounds wrong .. not mistakes ,, just wrong ,,..too slow sounds wrong as well though ... i wouldnt worry about speed really, just sound , thats what will get you through ,,, thats enough

Talking of good nights out, a leaving party last Saturday for a retiring friend her with rum, red wine, champagne, good food, the beautiful Anders 123 and a Polish classically trained violinist knocking out the tunes, finishing at 3:30 in the monring. Good times!! But boy, was that one hell of a hangover or what. Day out with family in a botanical garden, siesta on every bench, or anything flat and in the shade. Hangover rolls into day 2, head still hurts like hell, at little pains start spinning off in various joints, temperatures up at the moon, can hardly walk. Is that a hangover of dengue fever you got there Dudnote? 7 days later, I still don't know if I'm strong enough to get a John Walsh falsetta at 50 bpm out of 123. Think I might just take her to bed and hug her instead. In the recovery phase now, going to go get myself a Ti Punch to help me recover just that little bit more. Salud! Here's to your health guys!
