"Scarborough Fair"

An English folk song featured on Simon and Garfunkel's 1960's album entitled "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme." Played on my 1930's Hohner Regina, 4 reeds in the treble and 5 reeds in the bass.

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one that lives there.
For she once was a true love of mine.

Such a wonderful image. I am there with you, probably listening to your music as I tend the cooking pot.

Wow, thanks, Mike! The minor notes and chords seem to sound somewhat enhanced on this 1930's instrument. I feel like a Gypsy in a wooded forest when I sit down to play a tune like this, encircled by a caravan of dancers, playwrights, musicians, story-tellers, acrobats and artists. A dream sequence where music paints a picture and transforms the very nature of time.

Hello Glenn,

This is so good to listen to, the wonderful tone of the accordion is just perfect for this melody. In fact, I have been thinking about the tone and I doubt that the tune would sound anywhere near as atmospheric if played on a "modern" accordion.

Lovely choice of song and accordion.

Dear Joan, thank you for your kind words and musical insights! Keep playing that piano and soaring to the stratosphere with your celestial voice!
