Owen there’s some tricky double stops there! No wonder that took some re-records! Nice work though & I like those little rhythm variations & slides too.

What a heartbreaking tune Kevin, you play it beautifully. I looked up Kirstie’s story on the back of this feed. Thank you for sharing.

So I did. I wasn’t aware who might have been there that day, but I’m glad someone picked it up. Your versions sounds really good already.

I think it’s a relatively easy tune to learn and it is beautiful. It has become one of my go-to tunes to start a practice session and if anyone is willing to listen!

Thanks for sharing that, Kevin! I discovered the same tune and its sad back story earlier this year, and since i cound not find any sheet music online, I had to figure it out by ear and learn it that way; likely same as you?

Eventually, I reached out to Kirstie Mclanaghan over facebook to thank her for writing it. She was happy to hear someone…[Read more]

Nice job David!

Thanks. I am trying to make double stops sound better during the fall challenge.

Welcome to Fiddlehed. It’s a great place to learn. I live in the deep south and have also heard this tune all my life. Family sing alongs.
Thanks for you kind words.

Thanks everyone I’m going to keep fiddling with those double stops and try to get them smoother. Sometimes they don’t work at all & just sound creaky!

Thanks both for your kind feedback! Owen, I just used open G to double stop on the D & vice/versa so it’s interesting to hear it sounded deeper.

Nicely played Owen! Such a tricky tune to master, you did a really good version!

Really lovely! Both the tune & your playing! Thank you for sharing.

Sue and Grace, congrats on a great duet and fun friendship! Keep it up.

Grace & Sue, this is lovely! It sounds like you had so much fun finally meeting up and playing together. Thanks for sharing x

VEry Nice.

Thanks for the encouragement. I feel like it’s still pretty harsh but it’s coming.
