''BONNIE MARY OF ARGYLE'' David M Kemp
Переглядів 7628 днів тому
This popular Scottish song was written around 1850 by two Englishmen. ''Bonnie Mary'' was Robbie Burns 'Highland Mary' who in 1796 after a brief affair with the famed Scottish Bard, tragically died a few weeks after they both first met. I hope you enjoy my rendition of this beautiful song. Dave. @DavidMKempMusicandTrains {If you wish to, please leave a Comment and a Like and Subscribe to my You...

On Sunday 5th May 2013 on a very windy day at the Toowoomba Aerodrome I took some video of the last MK V111 Spitfire to be accepted by the RAAF in April 1945. The pilot took her up for a short demonstration flight and a couple of runs past. Just magic it was. Dave Kemp @DavidMKempMusicandTrains

''ON SCOTIA'S FAIR SHORE ''. Dave's Secret Version.

I call this arrangement of the first song I ever wrote back in 2006 my ''Secret Version'' because it contains some different words and has a laidback, more sentimental, nostalgic feel about it. Dave. @DavidMKempMusicandTrains (PS Keep an eye out for another version of this Scottish Song which I shall be uploading very soon, one that you will be able to clap along to). Dave.

    Thanks for the video. Well filmed & edited. I was lucky enough to do the Warwick-Clifton return run in 2014. I have a soft spot for the C17 thanks to spending time in my 20s at ZigZag, with #934, and the great people there who shared their knowledge and experience. It’s great to see how well SDSR have continued to restore everything so well, and better yet, how they actually use it regularly. The area is perfect for a nice relaxing “steam day” - enough long open runs through fields, and great small towns to pass through.
