Before I heard Mick O’Brien’s play the slow air my dad had a tape from the group called Aileach who sang the song

The May Morning Dew
(Trad)
How pleasant in winter to sit by the hearth
Listening to the barks and the howls of the dog
Or in summer to wander the wide valleys through
And to pluck the wild flowers in the May morning dew

Summer is coming, oh summer is here
With leaves on the trees and the sky blue and clear
And the birds they are singing their fond notes so true
And the flowers they are springing in the May morning dew

The house I was reared in is but a stone on a stone
And all round the garden the weeds they have grown
And all the kind neighbours that ever I knew
Like the red rose they’ve withered in the May morning dew

God be with the old folks who are now dead and gone
And likewise my brothers, young Dennis and John
As they tripped through the heather the wild hare to pursue
As their joys they were mingled in the May morning dew

I wonder if the clip I started with, is the same as the one on may morning dew by Mick O’Brien. I played them at the same time and it is amazing, the same :boggle: :boggle: :boggle:

Who helpes me out of this dream

the clip on Ray Sloan’s website isn’t Mick.
Sounds like someone who learned that air fom Mick, not from the singing, The phrasing is a bit rushed at the phrase ends, and the Fs are a bit too protracted for my taste. Nice demonstration of the tonal qualities of the chanter though, which was the point, I think
