Thanks a lot "S"

The girls truely have a lot of fun when we get together and rehearse or just jam. They are a true delight to play music with, and all of us guys really know that they are the stars and we are just along for the ride! We are planning on shooting more videos in the Spring.

Keep looking!

[TurkeyCreekSB]

Thanks for the kind words! Greg's a good one, and I am lucky to have him in my band! Shooting more, should have them up before too long!

Greetings from Spain ^^

I've heard this song played with pipe & drum, fife & drum, the fiddle, etc. It just goes to show how many folk songs originated in Ireland and made their way over here. Anyways, this is a fantastic rendition.

I love this performance! We play along with this at home regularly, since my son is learning this piece.

[BBYMRLCCOTN]

Yes, it was known in this country by at least 1650. It's very very old.

[TennesseeShine]

One of my favorites...been around since before the Revolutionary War, I think. Great job!

This is great! I like playing this song, and the harmonies ya'll came up with are wonderful.
