A composition by Scottish violinist J.Scott Skinner.Many of his melodies have become a standard of the Canadian repertoire,"Angus Campbell"most notably.
Thanks guys,this tune has long been a favourite of mine since I heard it in the practice room at a fiddle contest in Ontario's 70's.On another note,I had a nice N.Year's gift today.Someone bought a couple of my albums on Bandcamp.I'd completely forgotten about that effort!Anyone can listen for free if they're curious about what I do(or did) when I'm not playing dulcimer.Just be sure to type in "Jamie Snider Bandcamp" with an "i" not a "y"...
Jamie, I have always loved this song, and your rendition is incredible. Thank you very much for sharing this. I'd love to hear you sing this song! I know your vocals would suit this tune perfectly. I'm really glad you shared this, thank you very much Nate
