The Rare Ould Mountain Dew by Addled Zen Ramblers

[geoff1945]

Wow! Last time I heard this I was accompanying my friend in a bar called Moodies in the city of Wakefield Yorkshire. That was back in the sixties! I love the use of fiddle and jaws harp in this.

[ljped]

@geoff1945 Thanks Geoff. I have singing this myself since the sixties............it's still great fun to do it!

[sherrillwallace]

Although I have watched this one a few times already , came back for a refresher. Many of us here in the the hills can trace our ancestry to the Scot-Irish who arrived here several generations ago. Along with there toughness and will to survive, they brought there little stills and the knowledge to convert rye into rocket fuel. While waiting for rockets to be invented, they found and other uses for it, fire starter, internal medication, and of course underwear remover. We thank your ancestors.

I only drank it once ot twice and it certainly packed a punch.

Thanks Ron.

[xyzllii]

Sorry...hope that did not come over as a rude ignoramus even if I am one.. ! lol....what is it called then ?

ps I was not referring to your guitar !!

[ljped]

Don't worry :) It's called a jawharp/jawsharp or jewsharp.

[xyzllii]

Just brilliant ...very cool and lovely...That little twangy instrument has great imput as does fiddle et al..5*s

[ljped]

'little twangy instrument' - great description of it! Thanks xyzllii.

[gwamba]

love it!...

i like this version way better than the americanized one!...

good pickin to ya!

[ljped]

Even though this is a traditional Irish song, I think we've given a bit of a bluegrass/ole timey feel to it. It all comes from the same source anyway....

Thanks gwamba.

[23L]

Keep on Rambling, we love it.

[ljped]

I'll pass that on to Gavin. Thanks for giving it a listen Chris.

[CurtisMateer]

Aha, the last verse says "Ireland green" - guess that answers the question...I couldn't remember Grandpa singing the diddly-aye-days!

[ljped]

Thanks Pete - yes it's a traditional Irish song.

[CurtisMateer]

Is this Grandpa Jones' song or older, something Irish perhaps? Great stuff Jack and fellas.
