Hello fellow musicians, Writed on 2009-02-18 by Paul Gitlitz I am happy to have seen the
vast number of downloads my
tunes have had over the years.
I'm even happier to have
heard comments from those of
you who have written.
I know not all speak English,
but I love to hear from you.
Comments are welcome whether
good or bad, since it helps me
find out what others seek in
the music they love.
I have had a tune negatively
commented on and realized I
chose to call it a Tango when
it was a Reel with a bit of a
Tango feel.
This may be exciting for a
player of reels and very
disappointing for a Tango
player.
I am altering most of my tunes
to be listed as Celtic
although some sound American
or Russian or Latin they are
basically all coming from the
32 bar fiddle tune common to
Celtic music and intended to
be used for dancers. The bulk
of the tunes are reels, jigs,
and waltzes with a few polkas,
hornpipes, airs and swing
tunes. Even the swing tunes
are really reels with a swing
feel.
