Location: Brighty in Blighty | Some of you may know I'm a Legg-head.
I decided shortly after joining the OFC (about 18 months ago) I would set a goal of learning 10 Legg tunes.
So now have the following in the bag, up to performance speed (from memory)...
1. Kinvarra's Child
2. Anu
3. Last Track
4. Nail Talk
5. The Irish Girl
Now started #6, A Waltz For Leah. Then it'll be...
7. Nanci
8. Tracey's Big Moment
9. Mrs. Jacks Last Stand
10. Mrs. Crowe's Blue Waltz
So I'm halfway there. Why am I telling you this?
1. Cos no-one else I know cares and this is the OFC and so some of you are also Legg-heads.
2. To hopefully inspire you to tackle some new challenging material that will develop your playing / musicianship. I sure have got a *LOAD* better by tackling these pieces and certainly find it much quicker and easier to learn new tunes now.
I've learned a load of other tunes in the meanwhile this is just the Legg list.
Yes when I get to 10 I'll record the lot as my Legg Tribute CD for you fine people ;) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'm taking my one Adrian Legg CD on the road trip this week. Great to listen to and he's an amazing performer and personality. I can't listen to instrumentals when I'm sleepy though and I prefer to play what I can sing to, so I'll leave the learning to you, dweez. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Dweez - did you find tabs somewhere, or did you figure them all out by ear?
I'm still working on the Peppino D'Agostino stuff. |

I have his two tab books, the tabs posted on the internet are largely inaccurate and therefore a waste of time. |
