Bridging 40 Years: Original tune

In 1964 the Forth Road Bridge was opened near to where I live linking the Kingdom of Fife to the Lothians and Edinburgh. It is a significant landmark to all in Scotland and beyond. In 2004 it reached its 40th anniversary and I wrote this slow air to commemorate the fact. A double first for me here on Youtube....first accordion tune and first of my own compositions. Once again I have used the screen in screen approach here. The music is here for anyone interested http://www.ceilidhfolk.co.uk/bridging.htm

Lovely stuff, Kev. Every time I come back to your page there's a surprise--in this case that you're an excellent accordion player.
