That was very nice playing. I have not heard Scheitholts much. I like the sound of the pocket one.

Thanks for the test sweet soundsGrin.gif

I like your playing here Peter. It's great to see another noter playing come online....you have a natural ability for it.....& I like the little instrument.

That sounds wonderful (not just the instrument, but your playing as well). Well done on both counts!

Peter- yes, that's it!

Here is a clip I found online of the contra dance version (played on a mandolin...?)

(clip starts out too slow but the second half is livelier)

I dance to this tune often at contra dances here in my area.

now I know the name of it- thanks!

There's a traditional song on an album by Jane Tabor and The Oysterband(ragged Kingdom) called ' my son David' which is also known as 'what's the blood'I'm not sure when dates back to but having just googled that point unsuccessfully it seems Jean Richie did a version called 'Edward ' but I don't know anymoreI would however highly recommend 'Ragged Kingdom' though. It's a really good album which I think won the best folk album award in the UK in 2011

Thank you all for listening and for your comments! Smile.gif

@Lisa: Wikipedia says, that "Donkey riding" is an adaption of "Highland Laddie" or "Hielan Laddie". Is that the dance you mean?

I wouldn't have begun to think that you could make music on something that looked so basic but you surely have and it sounds greatIngenious. Great playing too
