What a beautiful melody this is! I really enjoyed listening to your sensitive playing of this, Rémy - It's a tune where timing is so important - almost free time.

I first heard this played on violin then Uilleann pipes, and play this myself although this arrangement by Tony is new to me. This is one of those tunes that makes me wish I did play the violin or pipes myself....

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Rod.
I am always drawn to these sweet, deep and melancholic melodies. They are in my roots
