Fabulous…….what a sound
Thanks for the encouragement! And strong tunes like Miss McLeod's do kinda play themselves...
THANKS so much for all you do Shannon.
Thanks for visiting me here!
Very nice. Interesting too that Miss M is a timeless and universally played reel. Exceptionally appealing. Of course there is the raging controversy of whether it is Miss or Mrs; that argument is often settled in barroom fights.
Haha! Ms. M? (And since she's so well travelled, maybe she's covered in tattoos, has huge arms, and can settle all the barroom fights for us!)
@@ShannonHeatonMusic yes she could well be settling her own barroom tiffs….i had not thought of that though a tattooed miss is a trifle hard to picture. But, being a victorian or pre-vic gal, we can be sure its either miss or mrs and not ms and certainly not they, them or cis anything.
Maybe she was Sister McLeod... settling tiffs (and hiding her tattoos) with the white coif and black veil?
@@ShannonHeatonMusic whoa! Bad enough feuds are started by the miss/mrs question. Adding an rc/presbyterian dispute to the stew would like pouring gasoline on a fire or tossing a bobcat in front of a dog team.
@@piperg6179 Amazing. Bobcat in front of a dog team. Bwa! Maybe she was Dr. M...? Or maybe her first name was Missy and everybody called her Miss for short...
one of my fav reels
it's a great tune!
Student LIKE 22, 198th view to 'clean up' my playing of this one - 0:51 for the practicing rePete... for when I remember to come back. :0)
love the tune housecleaning, Peter!
You're the best!!!!
Thank you very much, I really love your videos, I'm learning a lot of them.
So glad to have you stop by, Manuel! And I'm delighted you can get something useful from the videos.
Such a cute one. I play it with the merry blacksmith. 😊 I like your B part better than mine , im going to learn yours 😉.Thank you !

Apologies Shannon, its in the tune Miss Mc Leod's
Hi Shannon, in the fourth/ last phrase of the 1st part of the tune are you rolling the hig E. Are you playing E EF EDEF GFED bcba. I'm struggling to get this last phrase of the 1st part.
Hi, John - Is it the last phrase of the A part? My abc notation might not be spot on, but does this help?:

What happened to the fancy new wall sconces? 😂
Haha. They are here. But I admit that I made that video in advance... the day before we got the sconces. So glad you know them, Mark!
this is a scottish fiddle tune.
Hey, Bruce. Love hearing this played by the Scottish players. As you know, it's a strong melody with versions in Scotland/Cape Breton, Ireland, America. A well traveled gem, for sure. Maybe we'll play it together someday!
Also, it really is fun to trace the older tunes. And this one IS old, right? The first official documentation of Miss McLeod's is back in 1810 in the O'Farrell Pocket companion for the Irish Union Pipes. Or perhaps you've found an earlier version still! Love that it went through so many iterations, even before that early Patsy Touhy recording in 1919. Great to keep sharing wisdom about the tunes with one another. Thank you for your passion in the history of the melodies.
@@ShannonHeatonMusic miss mcleods of raasay reel first printed in niel gows collection in 1809 which was a sang from skye. niel gow born 1727 was a very proficient musician. he had a big influence on irish music. also..look up..... james scott skinner the irish tune composers page.....who also had a big influence on irish fiddle music. just type in....... james scott skinners influence on irish fiddle music.......then....irish traditional music carrowkeel.......james scott skinner was touring amerikay about 50 years before michael coleman. pattie byrnie another scottish fiddler who was banned from the elite ceilidths because of his raucous bawdy style of playing. he died in the early 1700s. there.s a portrait of pattie byrnie in the new york public library ..type in......digital collections pattie byrnie the kinghorn fiddler......
@@brucecollins641 -aha! So Gow had it in his collection before O'Farrell 'pocketed' it. Thanks for that. These tunes do get passed around, for sure. And the Niel Gow version is so much more like what became the American 'hop high ladies' than the version that has been folded into the Irish tradition.
History is important, for sure. And it's especially interesting and messy when you're dealing with a living tradition. It's interesting to keep learning about what tunes get adopted where, and HOW they become assimilated into different regions. Thanks for helping detangle a bit. (Also, Patie Birnie looks like an interesting character.)
Hi Shannon, how are you? I couldn't attend the last live, but this Saturday I'll do my best to be ok, do you have Facebook?
Jonathan! Hope we will see you soon at the VGS. We have a Facebook group: /virtualguidedsession -- make sure to answer the membership questions. That's how we make sure it's really you and keep the group private and safe for tune learners.
