Another Sackpipa tune

Another traditional Swedish tune on Sackpipa. I'm not sure about exact title as I got it "by ear" from one of Olle's recordings, so anyone who knows the title please post - thanks :)

It's called "Ljugaren". The name comes from a lake in northen Dalarna.

The story goes that the mother of a young boy was sitting by her window looking out over Ljugaren. The boy was out on the lake, when suddenly the ice starts break and he falls into the water. The mom sees her boy drown, and struck by chock and heartbreak she starts to sing the melody to Ljugaren.

Thanks a lot for a info Fred :)

I'm glad my version was recognizable ;)

BTW: I'd love to learn more about lore of Swedish folk tunes - any idea where on the net I can find that?

cheers

I love this instrument! I'd love to learn to learn it. Where do you find a good set?

The beginning is a bit strange. But the second part that goes up to high e is ok.

IF you going for the original.

God sound on the pipes though. I like it.
