My 1890's Lamy fiddle made in Paris, wanted to play this song today. I felt a bit like an observer rather than a participant as it just poured out. Had to share.

A song from WWII. Sung by Vera Lynn, considered the sweetheart of the allied forces. She had many heart warming songs that lifted the spirits of the boys fighting so far from home. Other hits included: There'll Be Bluebirds Over The White Cliffs Of Dover, When The Lights Go On Again All Over the World & We'll Meet Again.

Some might say it's not "Old Time" but I'm guessing it got played by more than a few Old Time fiddlers back in the late 1800's, and this is my sense of how it might have been played. I've tagged it "other" since some OT fans don't seem to like Stephen Foster. Bowing note: I'm pretty sure I bow this "anywhichway the melody goes"... which SOME people call "sawstroke".... not me, though!

Yup, an Old Time tune AND an Irish jig. Not really a medley, I'm just playing Arkansas Traveler once through to establish that, yes indeed, it IS me!!! Cook in the Kitchen is my favorite Irish jig, so I play it a lot. Not sure if I could switch styles as easily to any other Irish tune. And I'm not sure if this attempt qualifies as Irish Trad (I doubt it, actually) or will be derided as "Celtic". But I tried!!! Same recording setup as before with the two Naiant X-Qs, no effects.

a late-night jam... we took what I learned as an old-time banjo tune (which was originally an Irish polka) and jammed over it-- definitely out of tradition, I know, but it was fun anyhow!

This recording is raw into my new Blue Yeti USB cardioid microphone. I was sitting 4 feet away from it with the gain dial on the mic at 50% with the setting for unidirectional. There are 4 settings on this mic. It was worth the money I have to tell you. Thanks to Doyle for introducing me to this piece. I believe it is in Am.
