Recipe for a really enjoyable music session:

Ingredients:

• whole neck of acoustic guitar,
• two rows of mellodion,
• one freshly plucked mandolin,
• at least two fresh flutes, (may substitute tinned whistles)
• two pounds of snare drum,
• and a squeeze of concertina.

preparation:

• Begin by de-stringing the guitar; stand for a while.
• Mix the reeds, but don't strain them, allow them to breathe before adding the flutes.
• Next add the two pounds of snare drum, and the rest of the strings.
• Bring to a crescendo, until the mixture forms soft peaks (do not let it go flat).
• Chorus and sustain for two verses, then mix vigorously, and turn out onto a platter (seedy).
• Enjoy hot, clef'd, with a squeeze of concertina, garnished freely with mordants
