Don't forget to mention the poet: WB Yeats

[Txholdem87]

who is the guy playing mandolin on the left?

[tnoelle]

That's Danny Knicely. He's a really talented mandolin player--actually he can play pretty much any stringed instrument--he does solo shows in the northern VA area and plays with James Leva and Purgatory Mountain. Look through our other videos to see some of his other shows.

Thanks, I'm thinking about picking up a mandolin myself. I'll check him out

[OhRyeAllah]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE Aimée Curl singing this song. Thank you so much for posting on YouTube, tnoelle!

Morgan and Aimee are magic by themselves but together they are out of this world... mystical and beautiful. No recording can do them justice!

[IAmWanderingAengus]

THE wandering Aengus? Its a name not a profession....

Aengus is the name of the Irish god of love. He falls in love with a girl that he sees in his dreams named Caer and wanders across the hollow hills looking for her.

Aimee Curl has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Together with Morgan its absolutely haunting.

Donovan put this poem to music in the early '70's on "HMS Donovan" to great effect!
