Smashing.  You play triplets on that "finger glide" in the second half of Circus Jig, I thinks it's written out as straight eighths.  Just commenting- if you're doing your own embellishment more power to ya.

I figured it was time, damn the torpedo's and just throw something up the flag pole. 

I need to look at that again, I think I just got that motion in my head when I was learning the TAB and kept playing it that way. This is what I need, I'm begging for the constructive criticism. Thanks Carl!

I use the Rice pull on that part.

Went back and played that part, I am hitting it as eighth notes, but for some reason I go into hyper drive on that glide, it does sound like a triplet, then and the rest of my tempo seems varied. Totally different listening to yourself on a video and a big monitor. yikes!!!

Woohoo!  Another 1st vid!  I'm addicted to "Circus Jig" lately.  My son likes the second part with the eighth notes best!  Nicely done Mr. Bechtel!
