Bernie, I can hear 'history' in your playing, always love to listen to you! You're so authentic in what you do. Thoroughly enjoyed the listen. :) Janet
Thanks so much Martin! Yes its a fun tune and there are some totally different ones like Chinquipin Hunting and the like too. Wegens are my main everyday picks now -- but sometimes for a change I'll go back to my ProPlecs or play with a Red Bear. Actually the RB picks with a speed bevel feel nearly the same a Wegens to me. Red Bear just a tad brighter? The unbeveled are not so good in my hands! LOL not that it means much!
@agrlfmtx Hello! Thanks for the shout & the smile! I'll drop by your channel to see what you and your conspirators in music are up to these days. Something interesting I am sure of that!
Nice, I like this one Bernie. A good song on the mandolin. I like the way you give a little bit of the history on the song. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Take care. Gwen
@PossumJoesMando Thanks -- I like the tune a lot it feels right to me. I wish I had waited a day before recording it though -- I am a lot more comforatable with it now -- but I never learn. (<:
@Chiboou2 It does have Celtic origins I believe -- I found out today that it is also called Miss Farquarson's reel as well. Maybe Smiley fiddled it under some other name?
Very cool!!!! Wow!!! really appreciate your detailed background of the songs, and instrument and strings on which you are playing it, you must be a musicologist!!!!
@Cj12sings Well thanks a lot for tuning in and for the kind remark as well -- I am indeed interested in the origins of fiddle tunes -- but its just a hobby. (<:

Sounds great Bernie! I like the sedated speed myself. Clark did burn the fiddle up on his tunes though.

Hey Bernie, that sounded great! Very happy melody. I've heard it as Chinquipin, but not the other titles. How do you like your Wegan pick?
