[jandamclaughlan]

Hello - I love this -reminds me of our visit to Scotland in 2004. - and my husbands first time home since he immigrated in 1964!! I really wanted to get a bit of background on mandolin, which I am thinking of learning - it it easier to learn than guitar, which I learnt many years ago? Regards Jeanette McL.

Scotland :) I love this place, hough never been there

[XenMonkey]

From OED:

cockalorum

colloq.

Applied to a person: = Little or young cock, bantam; self-important little man.

c1715 Jacobite Minstrelsy (1829) 47 Hey for Sandy Don! Hey for Cockolorum! Hey for Bobbing John, And his Highland quorum! [Cockolorum means the Marquis of Huntly, whose father, the Duke of Gordon, was called Cock of the North.]

Hope that helps.

[draedwillows]

What does "Cockolorum" mean??'

[DryBONESreborn]

Gorgeous pictures. What's a Joccobite? I know nothing of Scottish history :( Something with King James right?

[Conordl96]

@DryBONESreborn A jacobite is someone who supported king james in the nine years war. He was the rightful king of england,scotland nd ireland but because he was catholic nd tried 2 promote religous equality he was unpopular nd was eventually deposed so his protestant cusin cud get the throne he fought in a civil war but was defeated by william of orange at the Boyne in ireland

[FrenchFlair15]

why does it say france in the title.

[cassubia]

Because the exiled Scots kings of the Stuart line found refuge in France - this was the "Auld Alliance" - two countries with a deadly enemy - England.

[FrenchFlair15]

@cassubia oh ok thank you

[Mariekesone]

What a gorgeous country...and the Music!!!

Great:-)

[kayjay83]

[kintakintyea]

[fmrelay]

OK, I tried wrestling my reply into Scots, but has wir ain lied even got a word for Magyar?

Anyway, Mr. Arany's Magyar, not Anglo. I think he did a nice enough job on the vocal to justify an exception to Dick Gaughan's rule of "never try to sing a folk song in other than your own accent". I like how he did the 'r' sound, which is notoriously difficult to do in anything but your own first language.

Bottom line, I think Arany Zoltán has a terrific ear both for music and for language.

[kintakintyea]

Thanks for your reply fmrelay my friend' and Aye' eit weis singit affa gweed fur aa aat maitter!!

[Pitfossil]

fmrelay - *laugh* good thing Arany Zoltan did a teddybear version. Hungars are fighters - and Hungar cavalry combined with Hieland swordsmen...my bets would not be on the redcoats.

[willthereveal2]

now...scotland is my dream destination!

[MetalCombustion]

wwooooooow !

[BonnieBlueFlag1314]

This is an excellent version

[hextt21]

the landscapes are awesome!

[endora60]

The music is excellent--the best version I've heard--but the vocal....sorry, but Maddy Prior is tops with this one.

[Tapini]

Tetszik a zene, ha te játszotted, még jobb! :-)

[dohertykaki]

Brilliants pictures. Lovely music!! K

[AlexanderWilkinson]

Really good pardoning fake Scottish accent - excellent pictures. A certain penchant for Eilean Donan Castle?

Like the broad cross European folk of aranzoltan. Just back from Budapest - there was a bit of a folk festival going on in the square, Boy do they know how to play a whistle.

[RC93PIOB]

@AlexanderWilkinson Brilliant, dear sir ! I admire your strong views about music and culture,

but, may I regret that, your message does not tell much about courtesy !

[AlexanderWilkinson]

@RC93PIOB

Sorry you are offended - not my intention. Got a nice friendly message from Zoltan so he's OK with it which is the main thing.
