Play list update for August

Finally I feel it's time to add some titles to my play list. I'm a little worried because several tunes seem to be falling off the bottom. I'm not sure if that's because actually I didn't really like them as much as I like the new tunes, or whether it's just what I happen to feel like playing at the moment - Bonnie Galloway, for instance has usurped The Rowan Tree as my go to tune for when I have no brain or just want to feel totally relaxed when playing. My worry is that I will only ever be able to remember a dozen tunes and the more I cram in one end the more they will fall out the other...

Tunes I can play without dots

• The Atholl Highlanders (rare) 
• Banks of Allen (very rare)
• Battle of the Somme
• Battle of Waterloo (rare)
• Bonnie Galloway (my current go to tune)
• The Boy's Lament for His Dragon (with a tendency to go to fast and garble it)
• The Barren Rocks of Aden (same problem as the Dragon)
• Castle Dangerous
• Eagle's Whistle (very rare)
• Flett from Flotta (I play this a lot)
• The Highland Brigade at Magersfontein
• The March of the King of Laoise (Still lets me down from time to time...)
• My Home Town
• The Rowan Tree
• South Georgia Whaling Song
• Teribus (the mice currently love this)

Tunes almost there

• Capt Angus L MacDonald
• Leaving Barra (ha, ha, ha)
• Lochanside (remember this? It seems to go well with the Highland Brigade...)
• Over the Cabot Trail
• Troy's Wedding (A and B I have, C is nearly there, D part needs some work)

Tunes I am actively learning

• Alick C McGregor
• The Shetland Fiddler

I'm surprised to see that, checking over the tunes I've recorded, the only tunes on my play list  haven't done are Atholl (which I recorded about a million times on the previous blog and lost), Castle Dangerous. Shetland Fiddler and Leaving Barra (which is odd - I could have sworn I had done that one).

I feel I need some more new tunes to learn....
