The Lakes Of Pontchartrain

[cham691]

the song is well known in Ireland and frequently sung, but I would think it originated in the US sometime after the civil war

You look a bit like my guitar teacher in disguise! haha...great video. I'm wondering if this was originally an Irish song?

Lovely! Thanks so much for posting these outstanding tenor guitar pieces -- I learn a lot each time you post one!

Hi Steeve - nice to hear from you - thanks for the kind words. ;-)

[gesser60]

Very pretty tune, and well played.

[Pwecko]

The Paul Brady version is wonderful and I like the upbeat creole version by Martin Simpson (both available on YouTube).

This is another great video. Any chance of any more instructional videos any time soon? (Hint, hint).

[HenfieldWill]

Instructional videos, eh? Well - what do you fancy? I'm open to offers. I've just been enjoying my new guitar and mandolin recently, but I suppose it's time to get back to the 6-string guitar... :-) Will

[Pwecko]

How about something in a dropped D tuning. Good for blues and Irish stuff.

[HenfieldWill]

It's a thought. As it happens, I'm 3/4 of the way through an instructional video on chord transposition - I'll probably finish that off before embarking on something brand new... :-)

[Testacabeza]

Thanks, I will listen to it again. I am discovering so many "new" tunes for me here in your channel.
