Bonnie George Campbell

The Autoharp was always an instrument that I was aware of somewhere in my subconscious. An instrument that kept popping up but I never really took it in, or considered it as a possible one to pick up.
I remember watching Billy Connolly playing an autoharp while playing Uncle Monty in the movie Series of Unfortunate Events and yet again not really realising how much I loved it as an instrument.
This was the song that he sang in that film, Bonnnie George Campbell. One of the Child Ballads it tells of a man who has gone off to fight, but only his horse returns

Congratulations, you have a wonderful voice

My one takeaway from the Unfortunate Events film is that this song is meant to be accompanied by an Autoharp. Your great cover is only further evidence 😎 Thanks a lot for sharing!

Kerry, such a beautiful performance. And do not for one moment fret the delay in meeting your autoharp. Just as in Harry Potter, where the wand chooses the wizard, it is my belief that the harp chooses the musician. It just took a bit of time for your harp to find you.
