Musician's Adventures...

The Rising of the Moon by The High Kings on Grooveshark
Yes, musician's have adventures in their tracking down of songs. See, without PLAYING it first to double-check that it was the tune I thought it was, I copied off a tune for "The Rising of the Moon"--another high energy, Irish war song. And no, I do not have the ability (yet) to look at a piece of music and know what it sounds like. Particularly when the opening note pattern seems to be the same. 

If you have yet to guess, it wasn't the tune I was expecting. (On top of which, I had one of those momentary, occasionally situations where I got my flats and sharps backwards. I love it when I do that. :P) It's a fine tune in it's own right (probably, once the terrible fumbles I made with my backwards flats get ironed out), but weird to my ear with the words.

Wondering if I were just hearing everything wrong, I started humming the tune which I recognize "The Rising of the Moon" to...and all of a sudden I went: "Hey, that's the same tune as 'Wearing of the Gray'! It's the 'Wearing of the Green'!!" I did a quick internet search and sure enough...that's the tune most people I know of sing it to.

I already have said tune copied off in my "Civil War" music binder, so I don't have to copy it. :) Now...I have two tunes for the same song. I think I'll stick to playing it the way I'm familiar with it, but go ahead and learn the other tune as well. After all, I might as well since I took the trouble to write it over. ;)

Ah well...life! Savannah said she'd come play music with me in a few minutes, so I had better go re-warm up my fingers!!

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
