Description:

I stole a page from Robin and Mark Thompson's book[dulcimer/noter/guitar]to play this slow air I learned from Irish Canadian fiddler Leo Browne..glad I did.I think it's the closest I could get to the sound of the fiddle or the Irish pipes playing it...

That's really nice playing, Jamie.  Sensitive rendition of the melody.  And yes, the approach is reminiscent of Robin & Mark.  I think this tune has words to it, doesn't it?  I vaguely remember the line "And till you have risen, the earth is a prison."

Perhaps more than any bird other than the dove, the lark seems to have inspired lots of poetry and art.

Jamie, what a pretty tune!  It takes two of us to do what one of you can do-- major respect from us to you.
