Hi,

Well played Frank, nothing like a good Scottish dirge to cheer up a Scotsman first thing in the morning and Niel Gow wrote quite a few.

Thanks for posting.

Frank, This a beautiful piece and a well played arrangement. You always inspire with the touch you have in your right and left hands, respectively. Thank you!

[Frankdolin]

Thanks for all the kind comments folks! Here's another sloww one. This by the great Scottsman, "James Scott Skinner". Thanks for the Listen!

[Frankdolin]

Hey Folks! Happy Spring!

[Ranald]

Sensitive and lovely, Frank. And i liked the cameo halfway through.

[Bren]

Why weep ye by the tide lady?
Why weep ye by the tide?

I'll listen to this when I get home Frank, but I just want you to know that the song is about a young woman who rejected the chosen groom Frank in favour of Jock!

[John Kelly]

Here is the vocal version, Frank. As Bren says, the young lady deserted Frank, the Lord of Errington, in favour of Jock from Hazeldean. We Scots love a good romantic ballad.

[Frankdolin]

I was turned on to this tune by John Kelly over at SAW. SAW's hot right now with several new posters. There's no better, if any, "Open Mic" anywhere. Check it out! Thanks For The Listen!

[Simon DS]

Beautiful, sensitive playing, I always enjoy hearing your posts. Thanks.

[John Kelly]

Thanks for the mention, Frank. You have done a really fine, soulful interpretation of a beautiful tune here. Lovely in its simplicity. John

[nick delmore]

Nice, Frank. One of your best ones yet!

[Ranald]

You've outdone yourself this time, Frank. That tune really takes me places. Thanks.

[Frankdolin]

Thanks Guys! Here's another beautiful J.S.Skinner tune. Thanks for the Listen!

[John Kelly]

A big thanks from a Scotsman and great Skinner fan, Frank.

[mandrian]

Frank,

You’re in line to become an honorary Scot, if you keep up with some of these recent posts. Lovely playing once again.

Hold on hold on, we've already claimed him as "Extremely Southern Irish" so....

[Frankdolin]

Here's a great Tut Taylor tune. I am joined once again by Tim Sweeney who takes the lead in 2 and 4, mirrors me in 3 and 5, as well as some tasty fills. Add doing the final mix to that also. Thanks Tim!. Thanks for the Listen!:mandosm iley:

[keith.rogers]

That sounded like fun. Thanks!

[tmsweeney]

You got that right Keith, there have been times when playing mandolin has brought me pure joy, this was one of them, I really couldn't help smiling and laughing during the recordings.

The tune is from Tut's 1976 Dobrolic Plectral Society credits include

・Tut Taylor (Dobro, Mandolin)
・Sam Bush (Mandolin, Mandola, Fiddle, Bass)
・Butch Robins (Banjo, Guitar, Bass)
・Norman Blake (Guitar, Mandocello)
・Curtis Burch (Dobro, Guitar)

So I probably don't sound like Sam on Mandola or Norman on Mandocello, but at least I got to step into their shoes for a moment.
Great tune choice Mr Frankdolin, as always a pleasure.
