Old recording? Cheap as chips guitar? Helen, it's the guitarist and not the guitar that makes the music. This is wonderful!

(^_^)

I'm hunting around for a local copy of Keith's CD. It looks like Mel Bay has discontinued the US distribution. I WAS at least able to get a local copy of his tune book.

It's so good what you can do with a "humble guitar". I would like to lend you my guitar, because it's a long time I don't play it and you would make it sound beautifully. Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for putting this on your channel. Your interpretation is beautiful and somehow ancient. This makes me feel like walking a couple of miles--at a skip!

The music seems to pour out of your fingers. Impeccable and so vibrant, as O'Carolan should be.

A great performance, Helen.

Thanks for digging it out :o)

Hallo Helen - mein Englisch ist so schlecht, das ich diese Zeilen lieber in meiner Heimatsprache schreibe ... Dein Spiel lädt mich immer wieder ein zum Träumen, egal wie stressig mein Tag auch sein mag ! Ich danke Dir für alle diese kleinen wundervollen Unterbrechungen meines Alltags, an dem Du mir wieder zeigst, was wirklich wichtig ist ... / Mach weiter so ... Grüße Stephan

[Dracapalley]

@LeonardoSina Vielen Dank für die freundlichen Worte. Es freut mich sehr, dass dir mein Stück gefällt. x Helen

@Dracapalley ... es ist nicht nur dies eine Stück ... es ist Deine (fast schon sinnliche) Art, die Saiten zu bewegen. Es ist diese Selbstverständlichkeit, diese enorme Konzentration, mit der Du diese schwierigen Stücke interpretierst ! Und dabei schaffst Du es, Seele und Liebe zwischen den Tönen durchscheinen zu lassen ... das ist große Meisterschaft ! Und dann nimmt sich die Meisterin auch noch die Zeit, auf meine Kommentare zu antworten ... wow ... ;-) ... Helen vielen Dank dafür ! Stephan

It might be a budget guitar and recording but your playing is amazing as always Helen. Beautiful to listen to and inspiring, as I tend to practise much more whenever I've heard you playing. Thanks for delighting us all once again.

[Dracapalley]
