Famous Irish Air - Planxty "Fanny Power" by Turlough O Carolan

[jayrbee60]

I did not know that was how he named many of his songs. A little but valuable tidbit of history for me - thanks for that, and also this was very enjoyable!

[vaux99100]

lovely!

[terrygrif]

@vaux99100 Many thanks for your kind comment. Terry

[accordiona]

Thanks for sharing this beauty, Terry! I remember hearing you play this when you first uploaded it. I found the music and will learn it! Your playing is superb!!

Lorna

[conanobriengirl]

Very relaxing. Lovely! Always so enjoyable. I love your Irish melodies. I definitely needed some relaxation at the moment :)

[terrygrif]

Thank you Dena for viewing the vid and kindly commenting on it. You would definitely enjoy playing some of O Carolan's melodies. Let's have some music from you please.

Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

[Rhawneld57]

Very nicely done Terry just wonderful how you play with every heart string in your very sole. Wonderful to hear and tugs on my heart strings too. 5/5

[terrygrif]

Ron, you are always a tonic! Many thanks for your kind remarks though I realise that I have a long way to go to reach your musical level.

Warm regards,

Terry.

[Accordioncrasy]

You have a nice collection of really melodical and affectionate tunes. At this interpretation a appreciate the very clear, acurate bass-play and the tender. firm touches of your right hand fingers. A queting: calming melody. Istvan

[terrygrif]

Ah Istvan if only I knew how to play bass correctly! Unfortunately I have never had music lessons or a teacher so I really just experiment myself and that's not a good idea!!

Terry.

[Accordioncrasy]

Probaly you have a good sense to musik. I played in my younger years -without learnig the basics, and that was terrible to listen. Istvsn

[57francesca]

Thank You, my Friend! Exceptionally beautiful!

Happy New Year Terry! ^_^

Francesca

[terrygrif]

Mille grazie Francesca. I am happy that you liked this little melody. A very happy New Year to you also.

Terry.

[MegMerrilies]

That's great! looks cosy too. I must learn it on the harp. Thanks for the suggestion!

[terrygrif]

Thank you Meg. This lovely melody was composed for the harp. You'll love it, I guarantee. Happy New Year.

Terry.

[BernadetteJoolen]

What a lovely story and lovely song from your beautiful cozy home!! Happy New Year, Terry. It's nice to hear a song from you again!~~bernadette...

[terrygrif]

Thank you Bernadette. We are having unusually cold weather in Ireland so the open fire makes a room cosy! I hopoe you have health, happiness and lots of music in 2010.

Terry.

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Jokki. I appreciate the kind comment. Happy New Year to you.

Terry.

[lauraneville]

Lovely and much thanks from Kansas ( which is not the center of anything cultural)...

Turlough O'Carolan is one of my favorites!

With appreciation

Laura from kansas

[terrygrif]

Delighted to know you like O Carolan, Laura. He has so many beautiful compositions which have stood the test of time. Happy New Year wishes from Ireland.

Terry.

[LaLi1561]

un beso grande!!

y muy feliz 2010!!!

[terrygrif]

Eres muy simpática LaLi. Me alegra que te gusta. Feliz 2010.

Un abrazo,

Terry.

[raymondcrooke]

Great tune well played. 5*

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Raymond. Coming from a musician like you it is much appreciated. Again I think you could make a lovely job of this tune on guitar or combine with a friend who plays flute or mandolin. It would be superb. My friend Brian from Derry has added flute and harp to my version and we have it on mp3.

Happy New Year.

Terry.

[HungryHillboy]

T.O Carolan's music is Beautiful and it sounds great on the accordian. Great work, your videos are always a treat!

[terrygrif]

Very kind of you Neal to leave such a nice comment - even if undeserved. It is much appreciated.

Happy New Year,

Terry.

[rieken46]

Thank you, Terry, for the beautiful Irish melody. Yes, like this music. On the accordion, it sounds very good. On the harp sounds like this old music sure to also very good.

Also you a good year 2010, good health and many happy hours

Erika

[terrygrif]

De rien Erika. I'm happy that you liked it. I hope you will have a wonderful (musical) 2010.

Terry.

[accordiona]

Hi, Terry! What a lovely tune! So cheerful - makes me want to dance! And you play, as always, so relaxed and with such great style! ***** The grace notes sound wonderful on your new Borsini! I am sure you'll have fun sharing her voices and new tunes with all of us! Wishing you the best throughout the New Year, Terry!

Lorna

[terrygrif]

Delighted you like it Lorna. But as for relaxed playing!!!! You have no idea how I hate that video camera! In practice the tune goes quite well but turn on the camera and my fingers take on a mind of their own!

But it is a learning process I'm told!

Happy New Year to you and yours.

Terry.

[AnnieGong1]

Very nice song, I like it. *****

[terrygrif]

I know that my playing isn't anywhere near your level, Annie, so I appreciate your words of encouragement.

Happy New Year.

Terry.

This is so lovely! I just love the sound of your new squeezebox! Wow!!!!!! You play so well...the tones are magnificent!

[terrygrif]

Thank you Nina. I'm just getting used to the Borsini and its different tones. I have a long way to go yet but thanks for your encouraging words.

Happy New Year,

Terry

[joynozfri]

This is such pleasant listening Terry, and so nicely played. Thanks so much, and I like your Christmas tree too. Happy New Year

[terrygrif]

Thank you Joy. So many people have commented on the Christmas tree. Maybe I should just place the accordion beside it and make my next video with no sound!!! LOL It would probably be better!

Happy New Year.

Terry.

[grazamel]

Very beautiful Terry!

I like the sound of your accordion.

Nice video.5***** Thanks for sharing

Happy New Year 2010

Your friend Amelia:)

[terrygrif]

Glad you like the sound of the new box Amelia. It's very different to the Hohner - each great in their separate ways.

Happy New Year.

Terry.

[innocentamelia]

Aww, what a sweet melody! Hm.. I'm almost tempted to try it on my piano~

( Yep, I took it up again. Haven't tried since I was 7 years old... And boy am I glad I did. Never been so happy in my life~ )

Ah, by the way, I hope you've been well this year and had a lovely Christmas.

Take care, Terry. :) You're a sweet soul.

~Mary

[terrygrif]

I imagine this little melody would sound lovely on your piano. Yes, the music brings a special pleasure no matter what level we play at.

Happy New Year Mary.

[terrygrif]

Hi Fran. I am enjoying the new sound of the Borsini - my first Italian accordion. Thank you for all your kind comments during the year. It's great to belong to this wonderful musical family.

Health and happiness to you in 2010.

Terry.

[carrolly2k]

Hello Terry,

Fantastic Borsini - I do hope you are pleased with it. You are playing it well, and what lovely tones.

I know it takes some adjustments and a bit of patience, but this is a wonderful accordion. Good to see and hear you - Bravo! 10*****

Mike

[terrygrif]

Hi Mike. I'll never reach the 10 * mark but you are very kind to say so! Yes, I am enjoying the Borsini but still keep a Hohner in reserve! Many thanks for your encouragement over the year. It's important to beginners like myself.

Happy New Year.

Terry.

[angelusa73]

Dear Terry,

we all missed you so much!!! I am so happy I can see you again and I think that the song that you chose this time is very lovely and so is your house and your beautiful tree.

Thanks for coming back and for playing for us :)

Have a Happy New Year!

Big hugs,

Angela

[terrygrif]

Angela, you are always so kind. I am delighted that you liked this little melody.

May I wsh you health and happiness in 2010.

Warm regards,

Terry.

[Rhawneld57]

My goodness Terry that was lovely to hear. I missed your music for so long I should have visited earlier. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My tree is also up but not in my music room. So I have to look like there is no Christmas tree so maybe I will up load something using my accordion.

5/5 for your wonderful performance Terry .

All the best to you and yours.

Kind regards.

Ron your friend. Always.

[terrygrif]

Ron, any compliment coming from a musician of your calibre is gratefully received and appreciated. May I wish you all the best in 2010 and let's have many more vids from you, please.

Best wishes,

Terry.

[Rhawneld57]

You are too kind Terry I think you are a wonderful musician always. Say did you check out My Danny Boy. Some say it was nice. I hope you like it when you hear it.

Ron!

[terrygrif]

The difficulty with choosing one of your songs Ron is that I like EVERYTHING you do! So you can go from "The little beggarman" (My Gran used to lilt it too!) and then to "Cruisin' down the river" to "St. Anne's reel" etc etc and all sound fantastic!

You bring a lot of pleasure to many people. Long may you continue!

Warm regards,

Terry

[Linuxica]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year Terry!

Pretty melody, O'Carolan is one of my favorites composers.

[terrygrif]

Thank you so much Tonia. I bet you would make a lovely job of this beautiful melody on your violin. Feliz 2010.

Terry.

Hi Brian. Many thanks for your kind comment. The Borsini is very different to the Hohner so I'm probably not getting the best out of it yet. Looking forward to a collaboration soon.
