Traditional Irish song - The Snowy Breasted Pearl

[FreedomSaoirse]

I uploaded this fair ballad,it remnds me of my youth.....Thanks

[AccordionLadyMi]

"Pretty" is my two year old granddaughter's comment, as she sits on my lap to watch you play. I agree. Fran

[terrygrif]

Fran, you are making me blush here! LOL

What an intelligent granddaughter you have but ask her if it is Terry who is "pretty" or the music!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind comment Fran. Much appreciated.

Terry.

[soloyo]

Gorgeous! Love the melody in my ears,just have to with the music with all my body. I can see that you enjoy playing,don't stop playing! thanks for posting terry.

best wishes soloyo

[terrygrif]

What a lovely compliment Soloyo. I appreciate it greatly. I'm not always so relaxed in front of the camera!!! LOL

But I enjoy playing and I think that is the most important thing.

Greetings from Ireland.

[machree01]

Excellent, brilliant playing, when i get time i will have to listen to the rest of the uploads, well done.

[terrygrif]

Much appreciated Decky. Of course I am nowhere near the standard of the artists on your channel but I enjoy playing and that's always the most important thing.

Regards,

Terry

Very Beautiful! Played to Charm The Birds Off the Trees!!!! What a Great Sound Your Accordian Has! What Kind of Tuning Is That? Just Beautiful!

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Nina. Maybe you mean "Scare the birds off the trees!!" LOL

I could hire myself out to local farmers as an audio scarecrow!!

My accordion has musette tuning which is suitable for Scottish, Irish and French music. It is not to everybody's liking because it seems that the top notes are a little out of tune.

Warm regards,

Terry.

[3rdDerivative]

The accordian is such a wonderful instrument to listen to, and you play it beautifully. Thank you for the music.

[terrygrif]

Thank you for the kind comment. I really enjoy playing the accordion be it at a very basic level. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the music.. I enjoy listening to you play also.

Warm greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

TERRY ~

As you can imagine, a complimentary comment from Ireland about my singing such an old ballad ~ makes double-impact in Southern California!

Have just listened to this truly excellent rendition of yours, on accordion, a second time ~ your playing it in waltz-time a contagious pleasure ~ Bravo!

~ ANDY

[terrygrif]

Coming from such a fantastic singer as yourself Andy I take your comment as a great compliment. Many thanks for that.

Warm greetings from Ireland.

Terry

[terrygrif]

Gracias amigo. De veras no toco muy bien pero me gusta mucho tocar acordeon y tambien escuchar a mis amigos en youtube.

No estamos tan lejos. De vez en cuando visitamos Madrid u otra ciudad en Espana. La semana que viene vamos a tomar el sol en Nerja!

Terry.

[AccordionLadyMi]

[lorgain2]

Terry Ard Mhacha will struggle this year, but they gave us many good years. Keep playing you are very good.

[terrygrif]

You think you have it bad Oliver? Donegal were relegated to division two!!!!

Am suffering here! LOL

Terry.

[sizefam4]

Wow, Terry! You are great on that thing! Very smooth sound, and your timing is great! Nice tune too! Now I have to go check out your Danny Boy!

[terrygrif]

I appreciate your kind comment Gary. It is this that encourages me to continue practising.

Warm regards from Ireland.

Terry.

[lorgain2]

Great timing Terry, I really enjoyed that, Good luck from lorgain2 and Ard Mhacha.

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Oliver. To be placed alongside such artists as the late, great Eileen Donaghy is indeed an honour.

Up Armagh (except when they play Donegal!)

Regards,

Terry.
