Re: For those who asked--I broke down the Poullard Special--and philosophy...

Great post, Chris.

Quote: Chris Miller

... To the "old folks" who were around when I was growing up and trying to learn to play, they certainly could tell the difference... sometimes even up to just ONE "wrong" note. I think they probably were more careful back then because there was not the recording technology that we have now. If they were not picky about "learning it right," there was a danger that the tunes it would be lost ...

A sure i thing, as i experienced in Co Sligo Ireland when i was trying to learn Irish fiddle in the 70-ies .... i remember noting down one tune from a local farmer & fiddler, with just a transistor radio as luxury item in his living room. Met another one 10km further north later who told me that that this version was not right and that for only some notes in the B part. It's no joke, he was very serious that i got it "right". It's great that someone takes the time to analyze different styles to such an extent as you do, SALUT; i am too lazy or sloppy for that - Nout
