• "Hello"

  Hello, I hope you find this site of some use. I will continue to play tunes and post them here as a source for people to learn from. If anyone wants a specific tune played then I'll try to record it if I know it. I used to find it difficult to get recordings of some tunes played at a resonable speed and in a normal key. I'm not promising to be reasonable and normal all of the time but I will do my best. Please contact me if you have any suggestions or comments. Thanks for now. (iflute@googlemail.com)
