This is another Three Good Measures take from our jam session on 9/16/01, where we did "General Taylor". We used the arrangement done by Great Big Sea, because, well, that’s the one we knew! Lead is sung by Mimi; backup vocals by me, Cyn, Fred, Kathryn, Monica, Patrick; flute by Dara.

These are snippets of me practicing the A part of Sheepskin and Beeswax, a.k.a. Le reel irlandais, as performed by La Bottine Souriante. I've been working on learning a simplified version of the A part on my fiddle, and am using my whistle as a guide to slowly start adding complexity so I can get closer to how La Bottine plays it.

I'm Angela Korra'ti, a.k.a. Angela Highland, and I'm an author who writes SF/F under both of those names! But in addition to being an author, I'm also an amateur musician, trying to improve my repertoire of Quebecois and Irish session tunes, as well as working on my guitar. This account's for me posting occasional snippets of me noodling around on my instruments.
