Excellent sir! I've always loved the Danny Boy tune.

There are certain arrangements of notes that for some unknown reason can make an individual cry - this to me is one of them.

I think Chet did a tremendous job doing Londonderry Air (Danny Boy) on that teaching DVD of his.

Eva Cassidy does an awesome version singing and playing guitar also, not finger-style the same as John but still awesome, find it here:

One of my favourite tunes - possible because my son Dan is also a guitarist. Really well played
