New Clip at C&S

I guess it’s widely enough known that my musical experience is mostly in the “old time” genre. I have made a new clip, and Tony has posted it to the Tinwhistle Tunes Clips & Snips archive at http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/misc.html

Walden, you’ll find a fan here. That’s great. Whistle, harmonica, and somethin’ with strings, guitar, prob, right? That’s a great track. It’s goin in my playlist for a while, maybe along with some O’brother stuff :wink:

Great job, thanks for some mighty fine music.

Yet another fine tune. The stringed instrument is a bazouki? Cool.
Now I think I’m going to have to replace some of my harmonicas!!1

I need to stop buying whistles and get a new sound card so I can record again!!!

Geek4, I like your sig! I wonder how many recognize the quote. You really are a geek for music. But then I must be one, too!

This is the story of the hare who lost his spectacles!

Owl loved to rest quietly whilst no one was watching. Sitting on a
fence one day, he was surprised when suddenly a kangaroo ran close by.
Now this may not seem strange, but when Owl overheard Kangaroo whisper
to no one in particular, “The hare has lost his spectacles”, well, he
began to wonder.
Presently, the moon appeared from behind a cloud, and there, lying on
the grass, was Hare. In the stream that flowed by the grass- a newt.
And sitting astride a twig of a bush- a bee.
Ostensibly motionless, the hare was trembling with excitement, for
without his spectacles he was completely helpless. Where were his
spectacles? Could someone have stolen them? Had he mislaid them? What
was he to do?
Bee wanted to help, and thinking he had the answer, began, “You
probably ate them thinking they were a carrot”.
“No!” interrupted Owl, who was wise. “I have good eysight, insight,
and foresight. How could an intelligent hare make such a silly
mikstake?” But all this time, Owl had been sitting on the fence,
scowling!
Kangaroo were hopping mad at this sort of talk. She thought herself
far superior in intelligence to the others. She was their leader,
their guru. She had the answer: “Hare, you must go in search of the
optician”
But then she realized that Hare were completely helpless without his
spectacles. And so, Kangaroo loudly proclaimed, “I can’t send Hare in
search of anything!”
“You can, guru, you can!” shouted Newt. “You can send him with Owl.”
But Owl had gone to sleep. Newt knew too much to be stopped by so
small a problem: “You can take him in your pouch.” But alas, Hare was
much too big to fit into Kangaroo’s pouch.
All this time, it had been quite plain to Hare that the others knew
nothing about spectacles.
As for all their tempting ideas, well Hare didn’t care.
The lost spectacles were his own affair.
And after all, Hare did have a spare a-pair…
A-pair…

Very nicely done, W. It’s neat to hear those instruments together for a change. I look (can this really be the correct verb?!) forward to hearing more. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comments. I made another recording this morning with the same instruments.

Also, here are a couple of other clips I made in the past, in a similar vein:
