    I met my husband in 1965, we married a year later. A few years later he went climbing in the Scottish Highlands for the first time with a few friends. He decided he would have to take his daughter and I to see the beauty of our country. We have never looked back. We have explored our country all over, and I will be ever gratefull to my lovely husband for showing us the majesty of our homeland. Sadly, he left us a year ago, but he left us with so much. He took us by the hills to the land where fancy is free. We love the songs that praise our amazing country, they will be with us always.thank you my Drew.

    I had the privilege of meeting Roy Williamson a couple of years before we lost him. He and Ronnie Brown were stars but they still had that folk club humanity where all are equal and a guy from the crowd can come to talk mandolin strings and be welcomed. A brief chat after a lovely gig - which left their satin shirts drenched - but it's treasure for me. There's another Williamson and that's the legendary Robin of The Incredible String Band. Up there with the gods in so many ways but always down here with us. We exchanged scarves in 1982. The divas could learn a lot from Ronnie and Roy and Robin - and Carthy and MacColl and Seeger and KirkPatrick and Prior and Garbutt and others I've met - and that is, if you sing the songs of the people, their struggles, hopes and loves, you are one of the people. If you spend your time up there with the gods, you forget life down here. All those I've named - and others - impressed me deeply because, although they are - and were; some have moved on - musicians and lyricists of the highest order, they are still part of us, the people. Happy daze. x

    From wikipedia: "The Combolin was invented by Roy Williamson of The Corries in the summer of 1969. The combolin combined several instruments into a single instrument. One combined a mandolin and a guitar (along with four bass strings operated with slides), the other combined guitar and the Spanish bandurria, the latter being an instrument Williamson had played since the early days of the Corrie Folk Trio."

      Its called a Combolin, a sort of guitar/harp/mandolin/lute. The word combolin is based on the words combination and mandolin.harpguitars.net/blog/2012/03/the-mysterious-magical-combolins/

      If you search for Buachaill on Eirne (Boy of/from Ireland) there are sites with the words in gaelic, and I saw the English translation too. I have it on record with Laim Clancy.

      Nice...I really dislike when music becomes a political tool...not nice to the artists, unless the artists intentionally made political music--and a few come to mind...from the 60s but that said...let the music lovers of Albion be...but alas trolls will be trolls. LoL

      @sarahwaldock3196 Рік тому

      @@type.maireaduifhionnain8048 I'm about 1/8 Irish; this is my married name, it derives from the town 'Baldock' which is itself a mangling of the Norman French for 'Baghdad' being the centre for Knights Templar in the medieval period. The two variants, with B or W, spread in a diaspora largely through Cambridgeshire where some remained Catholic and some went into a totally opposite direction such that I found one in the time of the Civil War who rejoiced under the name Jesusdiedforyoursins Waldock. My Irish ancestors were Clark as far as i can determine. I'm about half Scots and the rest a mix of Saxon and Viking with a soupcon of Jewish from my dad's side. My husband's family had Irish in them as well, as his gran used to say, half Liverpool Irish, half bog irish, but that's the side with the surname Nelson. A good Viking surname to be found anywhere in eastern regions of our islands.
