3 days ago ; i found the original vellum of my " new clipper " broken ; i changed it for a renaissance head , always with the excellent bridge made for me by Steve Harrison ; nothing 's better for the chicken ' noise at fret n° 14

i play the original arrangement   ( UT )

Comment by Jody Stecher on March 7, 2014 at 17:04

"UT" means Ur Text? I'm guessing.  Do you think Daly composed the Chicken Reel part? Good playing, Marc.

Comment by marc dalmasso on March 7, 2014 at 17:15

UT means DO  ( C ) ; original key

i guess  played in G in bluegrass & D by the old timers

don (t know and would like to know if he composed " chicken reel "or  was  an old Irish  popular tune ?

Comment by Jody Stecher on March 7, 2014 at 17:20

Oh *that* Ut ! The older form of Do. Got it.  Yes, fiddlers here tend to prefer D for Chicken Reel and bluegrass banjo players prefer G. It doesn't sound Irish to me.

yes sure : and a lil ' secret

ZZ Top =  C

mark Knopfler = Dm

J J Cale = D

Comment by Jody Stecher on March 7, 2014 at 17:41

this is so Secret I don't understand it. This is the keys in which they play Chicken Reel?  This is the key equivalent of their identity? something else?  Chicken Reel in D minor?  The chicken must be having a premonition of becoming soup.

Nice playing Marc. I learned Chicken Reel in D from a fiddle player. I love Daly's arrangement, presumably  in C. Any chance you can share the score?

Comment by Steve Harrison on March 7, 2014 at 18:16

Hi Marc, It's good to see that my bridge is still performing well. I liked the 'chicken' sound that you started with,it gives the tune character I think. If anyone wants to try it, I have an arrangement of Chicken Reel in C in the library plus a midi. I may have been a bit ambitious with the midi speed, I think the speed that Marc plays is better....Steve.

yes equivalent of their identity , Jody

Yes >Steve ; playing fast only for chicken reel , but it 's " Daly buck dance "
