[daveo138]

A beautiful song, beautifully played

[terrygrif]

Delighted you enjoyed it Dave. It is indeed a lovely song but I'm not sure I do it justice. Many thanks for your kind comment. Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

[halkeeye]

lovely music love to play like that

eddie

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Eddie for your kind comment.

I don't really play at a very high level so you would have no bother playing like me.

Delighted you enjoyed the tune and I appreciate you taking the time to write a comment.

Terry.

[1day247]

Great job Terry.I,m always like to read info about songs you play. 5 stars:)))

[terrygrif]

Thank you for the 5 stars. I don't think it deserved that. I am happy that you liked it.

Best wishes from Ireland.

Terry.

[conanobriengirl]

So beautiful :)

If I could give this 10 stars, I would :P

[terrygrif]

Dena, you are too kind. You didn't mention the two mistakes I made!!! I had intended to post it again but never got round to it. Probably I was most content with the playing on the other Irish love song "My Mary of the curling hair" though it is not so famous. When you "feel" the song I think that makes it special.

Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

[maureen1938]

You DO play beautifully Terry, what a lovely old Irish song, I love them.... bring them on..... !!!

[terrygrif]

Not so sure about the quality of my playing Maureen! LOL

But I enjoy it and that's the most important thing.

Greetings,

Terry.

[Yom6996]

Wonderful old time Irish music, played by a Natural Musician, it brings back lovely memories.

Well played, 5 Stars

[terrygrif]

Thank you for the kind comment. I'm delighted that you liked it.

[Wanderwd]

Love it! Happy music to listen to while having morning coffee on Mother's Day......thankyou! W.

[terrygrif]

Well Wanda I'm delighted it added to your day. Incidentally a belated "Happy Mother's Day". We celebrated it in March. How come there's never the same fuss about Father's Day !!! LOL

Terry.

[Wanderwd]

haha.....perhaps because fathers have 9 months of additional holidays per child?

[terrygrif]

Oh that hurts Wanda!!! LOL

[terrygrif]

Yo.u are too kind Irisheyes but I'll take all the compliments I can get !!! LOL

Warm regards,

Terry

[Barndog44]

Enjoyed that. I have Josef Locke's version. I'll post it sometime.

[terrygrif]

Thank you for telling me. Joseph Locke does a lovely version of this song. What a voice!

Regards,

Terry.

[Carmylita]

Terry, thanks for subscribing to me and for your compliments. This is a beautiful song, very nice. I haven't picked up an accordion in a long time, all I have is a 12 bass that works right now, the others all need straps. I have an old 40's 8 bass, and an older 48 bass. The song is wonderful and you did a wonderful job playing, thank you. Carmy

[terrygrif]

Thanks for your kind comment Carmy. You must take up the accordion again. Many of the old accordions had a wonderful tone. Looking forward to hearing you play.

Terry.

[QChord4Fun]

Terry, Glad you're playing again, and thanks for asking to be friends. Now I'm enjoying your beautiful accordion music. Love the tones of your accordion. What a difference from mine .

Have a musical day, Gloria.

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Gloria. I appreciate the encouragement. With work and other commitments I haven't had time to post any videos recently. I think the tone of your own accordion is fabulous. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

[andy1ayrshire]

Lovely job Terry, I fondly remember my paternal grandfather (a Scotsman!!) asking me to play that when I was a boy. He was a survivor of Passchendaele battle during WW1 and it meant a lot to him, possibly one of the songs that kept the men going. Lovely memories, thanks

[terrygrif]

Thanks Andy. Coming from a musician of your ability I take it as a great complment.

It will spur me on to greater efforts!

Regards,

Terry.

[AccordionLadyMi]

Very pretty Terry. I like this one. I purchased an accordion last week after 7 years of not playing. I took it to a music store today because two keys were sticking. It took the person almost 45 minutes to pinpoint the problems and fix them. He refused money, but insisted I play him a tune. I explained, :It's been 7 years since I have played but I whispered a prayer & did an awesome job on "Just Because Polka". Whew! (I had been practicing it at home since last week. Fran

[terrygrif]

Glad you enjoyed it Fran despite the few mistakes! And welcome to the club of ex-accordionists who have taken up the instrument again! I'm struggling all the time but enjoying it immensely.

Greetings from Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.

Terry.

[lichiarenz]

Very nice playing! I like so much this genre of music. I listened with much attention.

Wonderful performance

Bravo Terry 5*

Fabrizio

[ragster0]

So so enchanting, beautifully played terry

[terrygrif]

Delighted you enjoyed it. Hopefully I can post "Grannies Highland Hame" sometime in the near future. I have posted "Loch Tay Boat Song" which is one of my favourite Scottish songs.

Regards,

Terry.

[CommanderXIII]

Beautifully played Terry. I find this very expressive and pleasurable to listen to. Thank you, Dave.

[Linuxica]

I love this song.

Thanks for sharing!

[terrygrif]

Hola Tonia! I'm happy that you liked the song. It would sound very nice on your violin too.

Saludos, Terry.

[hrepa]

helooooooooooooooo

[terrygrif]

I'm not sure if this is a compliment or a complaint!!! LOL

Greetings'

Terry

[alittletoofast]

No, I'm not that kind. I'm patient ...... He doesn't feel the music or the instrument. It was brutal torture for all of us every song and we all needed to get more drunk .

But now I really enjoy this period of good music, people who have it in their heart and soul. Its something special.

[terrygrif]

You have hit the nail on the head. It is important to have a feeling for the music. Even though my technique is very faulty I just love to play and, indeed, to listen to other people playing. I have many youtube friends who are fantastic musicians and they are a joy to listen to.

Thanks for your comments.

Regards,

Terry.

[alittletoofast]

I never knew that listening to an accordion can be so beautiful. My uncle always tortured us on celebrations playing this one so wrong and drunken wronger. Good old times. NICE!

[terrygrif]

Thank you for your lovely compliment. But in many ways I can identify with your uncle. He enjoyed playing and that was the most important thing. So what if we make a few mistakes! It's not the end of the world! LOL

Greetings from Ireland.

[angelusa73]

Dear Terry,

you did it once again! I even had my husband trying to sing this song! He is second generation Irish and he had heard of the song before!

Thank you for sharing this with us!

I love to see you playing!

Take care,

Angela

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Angela. I knew that this song would strike a chord (pardon the pun!) with all people of Irish descent. And of course Italians love all great songs.

Regards,

Terry.

[kate285]

[fiddle4u]

There more to this tune ,that I first Thought

Very well Done --- Terry,,

jim,,,

[terrygrif]

Thanks Jim. Coming from you I take that as a great compliment. A fine young accordionist from Co. Antrim - Nigel Black - does a lovely version of this song on his CD "Apples in Winter". Well worth listening to.

Regards,

Terry.

[isabellanakahara]

Beautiful tune, Terry!  Nice to hear you playing another tune for us!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. :-) *****!!!

[terrygrif]

Thanks Brinn. I think it would sound wonderful on your violin too. You should try it. I haven't uploaded many videos. I have to work too. In these times of recession it's difficult to "keep the wolf from the door"!!! LOL

Terry.

[isabellanakahara]

Hi Terry,

I was thinking earlier today that it might be nice to learn that tune. It's lovely.

Well, I 'm glad you posted something.... it has been quite a while since you've posted. Looking forward to your next video.

[Accordionman331]

[Accordionman331]

[terrygrif]

Thanks Kevin. You certainly know all the good Irish accordionists when you mention Ronnie. In truth I didn't play it very well because I hate that damned video camera!!! LOL

Terry.

[amarcordeon]

Very likeable tune!

Beautiful interpretation full of feeling
