Enda, I love this description from Ten Routine Spring Leg by Ma Zhenbang c. 1983 Chinese Wu Shu book. He says "the upper limbs must act quickly and forcibly in actual combat, just like a peal of thunder leaving no time for covering the ears." This is a great way to describe Irish banjo triplets. Your playing has that quality. Out of nowhere comes an explosive ornament. Nice. No time for covering the ears. I am struggling with Irish tenor banjo here in Australia and I tell people I'm better than I sound. Another great quote from Ma Zhenbang commenting on 'Spiritedness' which could go equally well for banjo playing. "it should in no way be expressed in a manner of showing your fierce teeth, frowning brows and angry eyes with a savage facial expression, but on the contrary, it should be disguised in an easy manner with poise." You do this so well Enda.

Mighty playing Enda. Wild. Love this tune. The drive inherent in the melody is compelling. You do a marvellous job of the tune. Wonderful melody.
