My whole concepts of music had changed after listening to this album and
then I realized that my art teacher was the father of one of the band
members who also went to my school. After listening to this song I bought a
drum set and started learning Jazz drums. MMmm good times, smack and jazz
or just playing any music, I got why the Jazzmen adored it. Those were
days.
perfect !!! 30 years after mile davis's bitches brew, post punk and
shoegazer; all set in alovely tone , chord and jazz rythm. part of me is
gald this never made it to pop society standards, because then i wouldnt
feel so guilty for lovin these guys music :)
Major, famous, proficient black musicians performing with the likes of a
white guitarist of the caliber of a Ry Cooder -- and at times Eric Clapton
-- how can you beat this? How? Why can't the rest of the damn world learn
from this example? Listen to that audience applaud? This is magic. God is
laughing.
+Terence Francis - You gotta admit it's pretty original -- but, it could be scary too. Mark Twain once was quoted: "God created Man because he was disappointed in the monkey." Yes, celestial laughter....I like that. I certainly hope if there is a God -- that entity does have a sense of humor. We're all going to need it.
+Michael BurkeIt was an event organised to help collecting funds for the victims of Katrina Hurricane in New Orleans it was taking place in New yoork I guess (title being form Big Apple to Big Easy)
Yes it is they play 4 songs together. if you don't have this DVD make yourself a favor and get it they're plenty of great music on it Meters, Neville Brothers, Elvis Costello and lots of other great New Orleans stars
Ry has no musical boundaries. No matter the musical genre, he hears it, he
gets it, and truly can make the most of it. A lifetime in music that still
gets explored and re-invented daily. A true musicians musician if there
ever was one.
+James Nedresky and while living on the East Coast, I've always made it a point to catch him should he ever bring his 'project' here (it helps living in the shadow of NYC). From his days as a solo artist, to him having Flaco & the Pahunini Bros, to the Jazz album, to his Borderline (w/John Hiatt) to the only performance stateside of Buena Vista Social Club, I'm there. I'll be at the Keswick on 11/12 to catch this. The one show that I feel bad to have missed was his show with Ali Farka Toure which had us in NYC to see them at Central Park only to be told at the last minute that Ali had to fly back to Mali for an emergency. Having eaten a bag of shrooms, we said F it to seeing the replacement act (James Blood Uhlmer) and just bar hopped the many great classic bars that are all over Manhattan. :-)
The sound is Great! Jimmy Martin probably never heard this song as a
bottleneck blues shuffle, and the ragtime piano was perfect. The video
though, not so much…
Colorado's new cannabis laws have evidently taken full effect.
+Al Quattrocchi I worked with your dad for many years at Anderson Printing. A fine gentleman.

Wild Mountain Thyme : Sean Tyrrell,Bard -See review in description below.
Arguably the world's finest living Bard. Sean performs poems, songs & story's from Celtic literary giants. This one is either Scottish or Irish :"Wild Mountain Thyme ...
@keepthechangebob I don't know about the tune. And to be fair to Francis
McPeake Snr, he said in a radio broadcast, that he learned the song from an
uncle, not that he wrote it. it was his family who claimed authorship of
the song when they thought money was to be had! what's that saying about
greed? If they had only credited Tannahill for the lyrics, they could have
claimed the "arrangement" as their own and there'd be no arguments. But
like I said about greed. Sorry, I now see what you mean!
I was not at the launch but I saw him live in Ballyvaughan, in Greenes pub,
last week. He had two lads with him on fiddle and accordian. The depth,
spirit, timbre and tone of his voice when playing live is something that
modern technology cannot record accurately. It was without question one of
the best nights of my life and I've had a few!! Sitting at the bar a few
feet away from him with a pint of Guinnes in my hand.Truly a great and
unique talent, it was an honour to be there
I'm looking for a rendition of this song for my Grandmother who turns 100
years old on May 30th. She married an Irishman named Lacey. I wanted to get
a version of this song on guitar and performed with a genuine "feeling'",
and put it to music for her celebration. This is very, very good. I hope
you don't mind if I steal alot of your performance for the one I'll be
peforming for her. This is very close to what I'm looking for. Thank you so
much. Your talent is very appreciated.
@keepthechangebob Utter crap! The lyrics were written by Robert Tannahill
in 1797 and called the "Braes of Balquhidder". The very song that the
McPeakes disgracefully plagiarized, and claimed to have written! Shame on
them! (They were thrown out of court when the family tried to claim
royalties from the Corries & others, with the Judge saying: "If Tannahill
were still alive, I'd order you to pay him Royalties!" ) And as
Ulster-Scots, they were "thievin' frae their ain tae!"
What you have tought me here is that this volksmusic, this particlar
volksmusmusic was one of the very first world folk/volkmusic. It was
obviously popular in Scotland & Ireland (& I bet Wales), you add Germany to
the mix, I can vouch for America. I guess this is because the irish &
scotch migrated to Germany the US & elsewhere taking their music with
them... beautiful music like this was adopted world wide becoming all of
our volksmusic.
Thank you for that information. It rounds out this classic song for me.
Frankly, I am surprized by how few big names have covered it... As you may
know by now I married a Colleen... The name was always magical to this
jewish boy... This song was a favorite of mine for many decades... and now
i m blessed with my my own german irish lassie...
This is wonderful! Brings back so good memories... to great days in Doolin,
Co. Clare. I was working there at McGann's pub during one summer in the
late 70s, and we had a session with some Irish, Scottish and Bretonian
musicians. Thanks so much for posting this great performance! Sean has a
new big fan :) Isolde
Been trying to find a copy of "Passing the Time in Ballymenone" all week
but no luck. I have a friend who owns a second hand book shop hunting it
down even as I type. The reviews I have seen have been impressive (To say
the least), thanks for the heads up Red!
Sean plays a lot of weird and wonderful instruments, mandocello, mandobass,
tenor guitar, mandola, four-string banjo as well as a "normal" six string
guitar, if you listen to RedKruzer's Demolition Dan video you will hear
Sean playing a mandocello!
dylancoutts28, I have been trying to get Seans reply to you for days now.
Youtube would not accept Sean's reply :Hy the tuning is GDAD,st apparently
because i was copying it and past it in. Intresting. I wonder what the
lesson to be learned is?
@DonegalRaymie201 if you read what i said, the version as sung by sean
tyrrell, was written by the mcpeakes, with plagiarized lyrics or not. the
tune has always been accredited to tannahill, the braes of balq, why i said
neither scots/irish
LCHS1971, Thank you for asking. See lukesummers Youtube video: Seán Tyrrell
