@SAINTARGENTUM777 I first heard it 30 years ago and was mesmerised. I know what you mean - so well said. It brings back so many deep feelings and thoughts for me too that were manifested as a young man.

This is such a great song , sung by a great fella. It takes me back to when I was a child playing in the kitchen on a Sunday morning and my Grandmother would have the Sunday morning Irish/Newfoundland show on the radio while she was cooking a feed of Jigs dinner and she would always make be quite while this song was on !!

Play off the album and close your eyes - these songs can sound trite, but Andy has a certain something that makes this stuff magic.

is there two songs with this title??

@rufus566 It is called a hurdy-gurdy. You have some strings that are touched by a wooden wheel rotated by turning a crank with one hand, that play a droning sound like a bagpipe, and your other hand presses keys that press on another string to play the melody.

What instrument is Andy playing there?
Beautiful,moving music. I was going to say that you would need to be made of brass to not enjoy this, but I've just noticed my doorknob has got a tear in it's eye.
