i think youre talking about the silver spear video of slainte mathe?  i misunderstood what you were saying..i wasnt suggesting you use it for a backing to another tune.

EDIT... also that post was concerning lilting.  in the video i posted of silver spear, the lilting was used as a bridge, to me, really.  I havent decided if the part that comes after the intial silver spear is still a version of siver spear or another tune.  but i dont think theyre playing silver spear and another tune together.  If they are i completely missed that.  i would think that would be too busy to an already busy tune so if they did that its pretty cool how they pulled it off.  

whats the classicical piece of music  from Tchaikovsky where two different anthems or something are played in counterpoint?  Think it was an ode to Napoleonic wars or something...usually played outdoors alot in the summer and has some cannon shots along with it..  probably going off into the ditch here..  i may be way off there.  1812 overture?  whats the story on that one.

@elcbk  heres an experiment..pick a jig in a related key..say swallowtail and play along with this.  kinda neat sound.  youll either have to play at tempo with him which will be very slow or double which is gonna be a pretty quick clip.  or noodle with Gmaj scale/Em  think Edor would probably work but the C# may clash here and there.  Theres a bunch of tracks out there like this to play with.

something to play to i guess..  any jig would work thats em friendly...

your comment made me think of this.   i had to take vr goggles off..got motion sickness.
