    One of the best versions I've heard. Top two easily!
    Both tenderness and deep melancholy.

    Thank you for this rendering of the Jacobite song. Your interpretation is so beautiful. I learned "An Fhideag Airgid" as a waulking song, and that it referred to the 1715 Rising in Scotland when the Old Pretender (son of James VII) came to lead his supporters against the newly installed Hanoverian King George. " 'S chuireadh iad Righ Seoras dhachaigh/ Do Hanobar a null fairis" -- "They will send King George back home/ To Hanover over there." In any case, I appreciate this version very much.

      Thank you! Yes Norman Kennedy also told me this could be a waulking song if given the right treatment. Right now I'm having fun reading through the Angus Fraser collection. Lots of old songs in which many of the lyrics have been lost to time but the tunes beauty remains. It's great fun and interesting to interpret them as waulking songs, airs, and to have almost a free reign. ☺️🎻🎶

      @ It's definitely an earworm too. Keep up the great work.

    This sunrise or sunset (?) is adding a lot too. So romantic.

    I was ready to love on this based solely on the violin. I didn’t expect singing. ❤️
