Jay Ungar and Molly Mason

[Greyantler]

It's not HIS "Lovers Waltz."  Molly wrote that.

Someone please settle an argument for me. My friend says Ashokan has the emphasis on the first syllable, which is promounced Ah. I say it has the emphasis on the second syllable and the a's are pronounced like in the word at. Which is it? Either way, we are both fans and love Jay and Molly!

@darla797979 I've heard it with the emphasis on the second syllable.

@darla797979

It's pronounced Ah-SHO-kan. A fiddler friend with the Kentucky Symphony first played it for me years ago. I've loved it ever since. Pronounciation doesn't really matter with such a beautiful melody though, does it. :)

Well, whateversong it is, is moot...or mute since the video won't play for me.

I'm from Minnesota, but never heard of Cambridge. Looked it up. It's a small town w/ a population 5 times larger than the village where I grew up in SE MN.

Now I live in Los Angeles which has 12,000,000 people or thereabouts.

In a nutshell, LA has better weather. Mn has nicer people.

You never heard of Cambridge MN?

You've at least heard of St Cloud and Cambridge is about 40 miles east on MN 95, about half way to cheesehead land.

You're right...its lover's Waltz not Ashokan Farewell. Good call

[kittythefiddle]

The one that wasn't Ashokan Farewell was, I think, his absolutely gorgeous Lovers Waltz.

[pictowoman]

@kittythefiddle ur right that IS lovers walz NOT ashokan farwell...

[TennisChamp59]

That wasn't Ashokan Farewell. It sounded way different from what I've previously heard.
