I came across this site by accident. I was looking for the notation of Crowley's reel and found this great site. Lots of Flute tunes to be found here. Michael plays them on his flute, once slow and then faster. Great work, if you don't have a flute player just capture his playing and accompany him. Good for trying different backings. Sounds better than playing to midi flutes on my sequencer.
The chordmaps you can find there are very interesting. Starting with simple chordmaps, until you find very complex ones. You can work on chord progressions, and suddenly you understand a lot more than before. How does a chordmap work? Just start your chord progression with Chord I. Then jump to any chord on the map and start your way back to chord I using the arrows. Try it out.
East Tennessee State University professor Joseph Sobol on cittern and Chapel Hill, NC accordionist/multi-instrumentalist David DiGiuseppe playing a short jig. Great playing!
A song about Admiral Sir John Franklin (April 15, 1786 – June 11, 1847) who was a British Royal Navy officer and Arctic explorer. He mapped almost two thirds of the northern coastline of North America. His last expedition disappeared while attempting to chart and navigate a section of the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. The entire crew perished from starvation and exposure after Franklin died and the expedition's icebound ships were abandoned in desperation.
I first heard this song from Pentangle long ago. Two years ago I bought a record from a group called Arcanadh. On this there is another great version of that song. Listen to it, if you get a chance. http://www.arcanadh.com/
The bouzouki I'm playing on this video is made by Stevens, Munich, Germany. I bought it secondhand some years ago. Look at: http://www.guitars.de/

I learned this song from an old Planxty recording. Thought I could play it, too. Here's a part of my version. You'll find the words and chords underneath the video.
{t:Three Drunken Maidens}
{c:}
There [D]were three drunken [G]maidens Came [A]from the [G]Isle of [D]Wight
They [D]drank from Sunday [G]morning Nor [A]stopped till [G]Saturday [D]night
When [Em]Saturday night came round me boys They [D]would not then go [A]home
Then [Bm]These three drunken [G]maidens They [A]pushed the [G]jug a[D]bout
Then [D]in comes bouncing [G]Sally, her [A]cheeks as red as [D]bloom
“Move [D]up me jolly [G]sisters and [A]give young Sally [D]room
For [Em]I will be your equal be[D]fore the night is [A]out.”
And [Bm]these four drunken [G]maidens they [A]pushed the [G]jug a[D]bout
There’s [D]woodcock and there’s [G]pheasant, there’s [A]partridge and there’s [D]hare
[D]There’s all sorts of [G]dainties; no [A]scarcity was [D]there
There’s [Em]forty quarts of beer, me boys, they [D]nearly drunk them [A]out
And [Bm]these four drunken [G]maidens, they [A]pushed the [G]jug a[D]bout
Then [D]up and comes the [G]landlord; he’s [A]asking for his [D]pay
It’ a [D]forty shilling [G]bill, me boys, these [A]gals have got to [D]pay
That’s [Em]ten pounce apiece, me boys, but [D]still they wouldn’t go [A]out
And [Bm]these four drunken [G]maidens, they [A]pushed the [G]jug a[D]bout
“[D]Oh, where are your [G]feathered hats, your [A]mantles rich and [D]fine?”
“They’ve [D]all been swallowed [G]up, me boys, in [A]tankards of good [D]wine.”
“[Em]And where are your maidenheads, you [D]maidens brisk and [A]gay?”
“We [D]left them in the [G]alehouse, we [A]drank them [G]clean a[D]way!”
