Wild Mountain Thyme, Will You Go Lassie Go - Irish folk song

[edgluhrs]

Here is a great tribute to Sandy and this song. Denny's version used to be on YouTube as well...

[ImOfTheWoods]

@edgluhrs Thanks very much for your kind comment. Sandy's version is still on youtube, as far as I know. I'm working on another of hers right now. She was a wonderful musician and I was happy to discover her recently. 8o)

[edgluhrs]

@ImOfTheWoods Check out "The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood," which should be easy to find... she does a great job on that one!

[ImOfTheWoods]

@edgluhrs Thanks very much - you are right - it's really very beautiful! I love harmonies so may tackle that one at some point. Even if I don't, really enjoyed hearing it.

This was moving, especially those times you played a low recorder note under the vocals.

This is so-o-o-o beautiful Sylvia ! I Absolutely Love This !

In a rhapsody of pure rapture I drift effortlessly amongst the cottonwood silk.

Truly magical my dear friend. The recorder is the icing on the cake, I just love it !

Amazingly enough, I can't find enough words to express my feelings any better.

Did I mention I loved it ?

I am SO far behind with my dear friend's videos, I think I have to start writing shorter comments.(after this one) I Absolutely Love love love it !!! :-))))

[ImOfTheWoods]

@rhopen Wow, thank you so much, Ron - so kind of you. Well I worked hard to master (well not quite mastered) this picking and just about drove everyone crazy with my practicing so I guess it was worth while. Have a great week. 8o)

[geoff1945]

Beautifully performed Sylvia. When I sang in a pub in Yorkshire this was always the last song and became our folk anthem.

[ImOfTheWoods]

[ordepix]

Sylvia, really beautiful, sounds like an harp.

[ImOfTheWoods]

@ordepix Thank you very much, Pedro, for noticing the picking - it was a bit of a challenge for me, but I also think this style sounds like a harp so I worked on it. 8o)

[cadjunk]

Ahhh Sylvia: I love this one and your voice is perfect for it. I found the banjo tab and would love to learn, but my timing is off and it has been difficult for me, I don't know why. Kay in our group has been trying to help, when we can get together. Maybe one day I'll get. Love your version. Very pretty. Thanks for sharing. Gwen

[ImOfTheWoods]

@cadjunk Thanks very much for your kind comments, Gwen. Hey, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about with the timing. It was hard for me, too. What helped was to count ONE two three FOUR five six SEVEN eight nine and put a bit of emphasis on the first triplet note. Hope that helps - you will get it, keep trying! 8o)

[laurabrake1]

Excellent job, your singing and playing is just beautiful. Laura

[ImOfTheWoods]

@laurabrake1 Thank you very much for your kind comments, Laura - headed over to yours soon. 8o)

[leobluesy]

Hello Sylvia... I agree with Anette..good idea with the recorder. They are not easy to play. I was in the recorder band at school in the 60's and found it much better for everyone if I didnt blow :*).. got away with it too hahaha.

Your harmonies sound really nice... well done.

Check out> transatlantic sessions< on yt for lots of this stuff.

Leoooooooo

[ImOfTheWoods]

@leobluesy Hello Leooooo - you're absolutely right - not as easy as I thought at all. If you blow too hard or don't have your fingers pressed down hard enough, you get squeaks I'm finding. Most kids try this out in school like you did, but our elementary school never taught music for some reason. Thank you on the harmonies - they can be hit & miss for me - sometimes wish I had a better feel for them. I will check out the link - thank you Leo! 8o)

[TanteA]

Hallo Sylvia, I was surprized to see you play the recorder. It is great instrument and you can do a lot with it. Playing harmonies with it is a great idea.

Nice greetings from Anette

[ImOfTheWoods]

@TanteA Hallo Anette - yes, surprise! lol It's always fun to try something new. If I was younger & had more time I'd also try violin or fiddle, banjo, drums, mandolin, bass guitar, flute, chimes, and polish my piano skills. lol But you are right about the recorder being a great instrument. I have seen you play it in a lovely way. Yes, it makes great harmonies. Thank you for your comments and best wishes. 8o)
