I really love this song and sound. The accordion is a great instrument. Hopefully one day, I will get to one of Isla's Shows. I have played her music for years and absolutely love it.

[thriftyscotplumbing]

I love this audio/video. I play accordian and I'm old. Just wish I'd met Isla in Ayr, Scotland in the '60's, before I came to Canada.  We'd have been a great team.

[helen1948]

[gcab93atyahoodotcom]

i'll probably out grow my teenager music and like this in a hundred years, like all the other people commenting this.

[1erris]

@gcab93atyahoodotcom

You're probably right!! Some day you'll grow up and realise what's really important!

[stringbean001]

Another beautiful song from Isla. It's so easy to like all of her songs. Great voice, great music. I just love it.

[tumbler89]

its sooo blaaaaaaaaaaaah borring.

[bradmatford]

hah.... i agree.... sadly....

im interested in the accordion... but cant seem to find anything that would make me further my interest in this interest....

why does every freakin song involving one have to have that stupid waltz or polka feel.

ugh

im gonna get one one day and play music people like to hear.

[helen1948]

lovely music thankyou.

[radasun]

who is the wonderful accordian player he is good

[lesterpieres]

[wilmaohman]

[km1951]

This song is dedicated to a famous accordion player who was also Scottish Sir Jimmy Shand sadly he is no longer with us

[Corridoamor]

Isla Grant is good. It sounds like she could be a Country singer. I love Country music and accordion music.

[wilmaohman]

the accordion must be a hard instrument to learn and play.

[glasgowbard]

I think she's scottish not irish

[wilmaohman]

another great irish singer i haven't heard b4 she is great. the irish all sound like they're singing from the heart. i know she is from scotland.

[glasgowbard]

I think she's scottish not irish

[wilmaohman]

[speckspeck]

HAAAAA, GOOD ONE, LOVIN IT

[wilmaohman]

her and her husband would make a dynamite duo.his voice sounds almost identical to the late great jim reeves.

[geordiemcf]

i think it is the one and old the late jimmy shand..

RIP Jimmy

[josephostrander]

[Siliven]

@josephostrander

That's what I thought when I first heard it. I'm so glad i stumbled upon this.

[GORAN1441]
