Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: MMario Date: 02 Jul 01 - 05:26 PM but pretty much if J.C's doesn't have it, it isn't very easily available on the web. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Kim C Date: 02 Jul 01 - 05:25 PM Does anybody know how old this tune is? All I can seem to find is "trad" which could mean ANYTHING. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Jon Freeman Date: 02 Jul 01 - 05:24 PM MMario, there are a few players who do 7 or more part versions of the Mason's Apron. I haven't got time to look through but I doubt JC's site will have these. I suspect that was what shona was looking for. Jon |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: MMario Date: 02 Jul 01 - 05:18 PM a site very easily found if you bothered to read the above posts |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: GUEST,shona Date: 02 Jul 01 - 05:00 PM what about some sheet music for some masons apron variations?! |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: rangeroger Date: 28 Jun 01 - 12:25 AM I was once. rr |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Bill D Date: 28 Jun 01 - 12:23 AM rangeroger...you gotta be a Mason to have a fancy one.... |

Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Noreen Date: 27 Jun 01 - 08:46 PM I Use small words like (I'm) talking to a 4 year old and get accused of condescension... or did that only apply to Sorcha? Can't win some days. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 27 Jun 01 - 02:20 PM Ta folks! You rock... in a wicked cool folkie way! |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: MMario Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:59 PM ditto here Clinton - but on the few occasions I have used the buttons I use the "wide" format. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Sorcha Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:52 PM I don't use the search choices, I just hit the Enter (return) key. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:50 PM Ummm... Noreen... if that had worked, I WOULDN'TA asked for help now would I!?!?!?! So kindly stow your condescension thanks... sorcha... ummm.. there are three 'search' buttons... do you get better results with one over the other 2? 'cause I don't really recall what button I stabbed But i searched for 'Staten' as well, and got no results... leads me to think I'm doing something wrong... Thanks fer the help eh... |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Sorcha Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:41 PM I searched for John Ryan, Fory two(which didn't work), 42 which did, Dennis Murphy, Staten, and Foggy Dew......I never use "reel/jig/polka/ whatever at JC's. I think Foggy Dew is also on the DT Mirror site, at numachi, here. JC's is lots easier to use than The Web Wide Index which is Chris Walshaw's abc site. It returns an entire file that must be converted with an abc program; no midi's or gifs. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: MMario Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:36 PM it sometimes helps to put only a portion of the name in - the portion you are most sure of |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Noreen Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:33 PM er- put the name in the box at the top... click... when list of results comes up, click M for MIDI or G for GIF (sheet music) |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:21 PM Ya.. sorcha.. ya wanna explain to me how to use that damn search... You seem to have a really good grasp of it! Use small words like yer talking to a 4 year old! ;-) |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Noreen Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:14 PM Interesting... Staten Island the only way I've ever heard it played, as a reel, but it does make a nice hornpipe too. Got 'em all now? |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Sorcha Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:07 PM Mario posted just one version, I am sending you to the Choices page, besides, MMario, you missed Staten Island, grin!
Choices for John Ryans: Anything else???lol

Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 27 Jun 01 - 12:48 PM o.k.. welll... ummm... I've been flailing around on that site that Matt mentioned, and either I'm searching wrong, or I'm stumping it left right and centre... So i'll just ask here... what follows is a list of tuens that we're trying to get out new flute player up to speed on and she's one of those music readers... so I'm trying to find sheet music for... a set of tunes called the Kerry Polkas... I believe the 3 tunes are called John Ryan's Polka, The 42Lb Cheque, and Dennis Murphys polka Thanks ahead of time, for any help you can give me! ;-) |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Bill D Date: 27 Jun 01 - 10:27 AM help is what we're all about here... rangeroger, here is a VERY nice photo of a Mason's apron and is another (oh,,,wait, is that mason, or Mason?) |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 27 Jun 01 - 03:14 AM *sigh* this place needs help... serious help! lol!!!!! |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: RWilhelm Date: 27 Jun 01 - 01:27 AM C'mon, do it anyway. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: rangeroger Date: 26 Jun 01 - 11:19 PM Boy,and I was looking for a way to borrow a digital camera to photograph my apron and my grandfather's apron. Never mind. rr |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Bill D Date: 26 Jun 01 - 11:15 PM ahhh, I get it!..Well, it's still a neat trick! Got it bookmarked |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 26 Jun 01 - 11:06 PM Pretty well all the material available in abc format on the web; it's not all stored there, of course; John runs a web-crawling program to find them, and onsite routines to convert to midi, gif and so on. It's the first stop of choice when looking for dance tunes. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Bill D Date: 26 Jun 01 - 10:28 PM boy, and what a site to poke about in! He's got LOTS of neat ABC tunes |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 26 Jun 01 - 09:18 PM Ya... it's close enough to the way we do it for our new flute player to pick it up.... Rock on matt! |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Matt_R Date: 26 Jun 01 - 08:47 PM Yer welcome. |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 26 Jun 01 - 08:45 PM we'll give that a go!! ta' mate! |
Subject: RE: Help: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Matt_R Date: 26 Jun 01 - 08:40 PM Right here! |
Subject: Need Gif or JPeg of Masons Apron! From: Clinton Hammond Date: 26 Jun 01 - 08:38 PM anybody out there got one??? ;-) |
