This one isn't for recording quality, but it makes it on artistry of the whistler, the great sound of an Oak (with a toothpick tweak), and a beautiful tune.
One worth learning, and if you can play half this good, as Mr Ashley Jones, then be happy. He has a great style, phrasing and timing. He's also a Chiff member. Here's the link-Enjoy!

Want another beautiful tune? Maybe!

What I mean is: I was just being defensive. Nevermind!

Well, I for one,
liked both examples very much. Banish Misfortune is a favorite, and I've enjoyed comparing different renditions. I've admired Eskin's playing for a long time, so that was a treat.
Sally Gardens is one of my wife's favorites. I'm delighted to have pointed out to me such a beautiful example of that tune. I hope you and others will continue this pattern of posting renditions of tunes you especially like.
Best wishes,
Jerry

Sally Gardens
This is one of the first tunes I've been learning to play. There was a recent query about everyone's favorite low airs and this was among them. Even listening to it on a lame midi file, I knew it was gorgeous and technically simple to play. What I mean is that I struggle less with the fingering and therefore have a few brain cells I can devote to ornamentation and expressivity.
BTW, I originally thought that the name might have been derived from "Sally's Garters", but that "Sally" is actually a corruption of the Gaelic word for "willow". That said, "Sally's Garters" might be a good name for a jig, no?

Very beautiful. Leaves a lingering feeling in the heart and the ear. The pauses bring to mind someone playing in the hills, waiting for their music to echo back in answer.
Thanks.
Peace,

It is indeed a lovely rendition of a lovely tune.
W.B.Yeats wrote a short poem based on a half remembered lyric which he heard on his travels around Co. Sligo.
http://www.poetry-archive.com/y/down_by ... rdens.html
Andy Irvine,in his Planxty days, sang a song (the rambling boys of pleasure) which contains some of the words used by Yeats so there is a possibility that it was a version of this same song that Yeats overheard many years before.
Slan,
D.
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

One of my favorite Yeats poems, 'The Wild Swans of Coole,' (if I got the title correct) was put to music and I have a beautiful rendition on a cd by Fling. (It's the title of their cd.) I don't believe it's a traditional air, just so you know.
