Very beautiful rendition John. Your playing style is simple, full and allows one to focus on the lyrics and the mood. Erin go bragh from an Italian musician :).

Great rendition John, beautiful voice, and one of the few who sings it at the bright tempo, it's a lament, never supposed to be sung quickly like so many others do on you tube.

Absolutely brilliant! Fantastic intonation every syllable crystal clear singing the song with emotion and melody in key our true folk. Bravo my man bravo!
