The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel

[Lauraleisinging]

oh my gosh!!! i'm a MacCulloch dancer and we danced this song for our year end recital!!! :D love this song!! awesome!! go Glengarry!!!

[luv2fiddle]

@Lauraleisinging I was also a MacCulloch dancer and this was always my favourite tune to dance too! :)

[cjamunch]

you should tune your instrument

[cojomojo54]

Great stuff man

[foopibransfield]

Very nice, makes me think of all the great summers I had here in the maritimes!

[GamerChick3000]

You have the most amazing voice I have ever heard=O

Uh im going to buy a mandolin and I was just wondering how hard it was for you to learn?

[46578901]

Dude this is great. I have heard world class musicians, and you are definitely among their ranks.

[Fetlarman2468]

Can you Tell me the mandolin chords to this please? P.s really good singing and a nice melow little mandolin :)

[Fritz102]

Finally, someone on YouTube who's good at singing and playing.

[chrileboy]

nice, I love playing the saint anne's reel I just never knew there were words to it. I think your high string (don't know your tuning) is out of tune. What tuning are you in? The neck seems thick, but you play it well.

[MrDakns]

Neat, but that fiddle sounds wierd.

[GreatBigSlide]

I thought that place looked familliar!

My Parents live in PEI, such a cool place. I wish I could visit more often.

[papiervampire]

My dad owns a mandolin just like that. We gotta tune that thing...

Love PEI. You sing magnificently. It's a shame the winds be blowin' so rough.

[Gaelforced]

Filled with a mixture of admiration and envy.....it's not such a bad feeling.

[inverkenny]

if you ever come to Scotland and want some gigs then let me know, i've got the gear for you too, mackie 450s and mackie mixer, i'm sure i could get you plenty gigs here in Inverness and surrounding area, be good to hear from you, great stuff, keep it up.

[bullmist]

Hello my friend, Great job! please tell me what chords you do it in. Thanks for the vids!

[cranberrymac09]

haha where can you not see the ocean here on PEI?

[Foxer44]

Just love this, Bard.  Do you have any cds?

[Justdaboyz]

Wow! Is all I can say! As a true Islander, whose father was an old time fiddle player, let me say you brought a tear to my eye! You are so into your music, you truly enjoyed making this video, and I truly enjoyed watching it! If you are ever playing on our little Isle I will be the first to buy a ticket!

[shawnfitzpatrick1961]

Most Excellent Fine Talent!!!!!

[eklera]

In your description you say you can see the ocean in the distance. Is there any place in PEI that you can say that isn't the case?

[Pangael]

@eklera,

I don't remember being able to see the ocean from Summerside, but I may not have been looking in the right direction. :-)

[hogwoman61]

Wow great tune and great voice too!

[Teabonesteak]

Spoony bard!

[Mandolinpossum]

This makes me miss playing my mando so bad :C It's been giving a bit of trouble with a string jumping the nut so a gave up on it. Now I wish I had it with me so I could play around XD Beautiful instrument, I may add, would you be so kind as to tell me the make?

[BardofCornwall]

Thanks, and it's a Hondo Mandolin.

[lizfersher]

[ThaNicks]

Having a bad day, go to youtube and type in Bardofcornwall....he makes your day !!!

I watched many youtubes (never log in though), nevertheless your my all-time favourite !! I agree with the the other comments, your best instrument is your voice !!

Keep on posting !!

[dasBoerni]

I totally agree with everything you wrote! Nothing to add

[simondsr55]

great stuff

[DickDallyThe3rd]

Ive been playin mandolin for a little while now, and just watching you isnt getting me very far in learning this song, would you know where i can find a tab for this song?

[BardofCornwall]

I know that I got the tabs from the internet, but I can't remember where. I suggest Google-ing it.

Cheers.

[thedarkcourtsjester]

Enjoyed the distinctly upbeat feel to this one. And you can feel free to get right on my previous requests. Gotta give the people what they want, Bard! ;D

[adamsisk]

great job mate. love this bit. siochan leat

[txsphere]

Wind aside there is a great freedom in this tune and Northwest Passage. Since I have stayed up way too late listening to your videos I am going to take the day off tomorrow and go to the beach. It is not quite the same here in San Diego, but it is cool enough I can carry these tunes in my head and enjoy them there all the same.

Thank and keep singing.

[HaulAwayJoe]

this video made me want to get a mandolin and learn how to play

[TreSewell]

I did get a mandolin and learn to play lol

[HaulAwayJoe]

I did too!

[simondsr55]

excellent... when are you going to make some cds?!

[pickinduck]

YAY, you're posting more videos of you playing your mandolin!

That was great. I really liked the picking toward the end :)

I wish it wasn't cut short also :(

[chtruscott]

Another great performance. Too bad that it was cut off at the end, you looked like you were having fun!

[ruebenhammer]

Nice one.

[padraiggalloway]

Really not bad for outdoor music- and another great choice of song - very nice performed!

[LadyGilrean]

Too bad it was windy, It was hard to hear your lovely voice sometimes but overall another great performance! Would you get yourself a recording Contract Already? I want a CD!

[ellisatc]

Yet another great performance by the Bard...keepem' comin' and get yourself a recording contract.

[Beanwort]

Love the mandolin(SP)
