My first recording. Originally the verse was played twice followed by two renditions of the chorus. However, the first verse had unwanted noise (from the bow) so I deleted that section and just kept the one verse and both choruses. I know there is much room for improvement and hopefully this recording will help me identify the areas that need to be improved :)

Such a beautiful Scottish tune. I fell under it's spell, the first time I heard it. This is one of the first tunes that I learned, and I STILL play it everyday, a year lator. Good intonation, George. Keep it up.
