ParticipantI fired up my Raagini drone in D Major this afternoon, and it goes great with four Scottish/Irish laments on this rainy April day in Covid Times, reminding me of bagpipes. It’s either depressing or uplifting, depending on your point of view.
I hoped to add some interest by using some photos from Ireland/Scotland trips we took in the past few years, so you don’t have to stare at my mug for over 4 minutes!

ParticipantHey Tom, nice job. I like that mournful “droning lonesome sound” you evoke with your laments and the Raagini. It’s like a trip to the Isles. Love the photos! I’m sure it took some effort to put that together. Thanks for sharing.

ParticipantThank you both Carolyns. I like the term “lonesome sound”. I would love to be playing those tunes at some of those lonesome beaches and cliffs included in the video.
The vid of me was the first take, so I let the occasional flub go. That left more time for adding slides. I use Adobe Premiere Elements for editing videos, so it was actually not too long of an effort. It was a fun project for a rainy afternoon!

ParticipantTom, those were positively beautiful! Love those laments and those slower, mournful sounding tunes. You are an inspiration!! Loved the medley — some of my most favorite tunes! Thanks again for sharing!

ParticipantThank you @kate-kakadu and @cynhrossi for kind words. I find slow songs like those are a great break from the harder work of double stops, metronome and speed challenges!
