The Blacksmith (Traditional)

This song was probably made famous in the early 70's by a fabulous group of musicians called Planzty. Their a great inspiration in the way that they changed and drove music forward and for years I did my best to play the song in that style, but as it happens a few days ago I was fiddling with an A m cord and it just had a sense of painfull reminicience of a love unrequited or in this case slighted and I just had an idea of slowing it right down and mixing the two. I didn't plan it, it just happened.
