Any Scottsmen in here?

Hi there Scottytunes,
what a wonderfull piece of music! I'm not a scotsman but I love the music from the British Isles and I think Melanie and you did a great job in capturing the spirit of that kind of music and in the last section added an American flavour to it.It reminded me of a BBC television programme called the Transtlantic sessions where American musicians and British musicians played this kind of music.My only complaint is that the piece is to short.
Thanks very much for sharing this music.

Greetings Morenoise

I do like the progression in this. The increasing tempo makes this a very lively piece. I can see your problems keeping up at the end.

Nicely done

My mum's side of the family claims some Scott's heritage, so I guess that qualifies me to a degree.
This is a wonderful bit of music Scotty.  Exceptionally played and recorded.
Thanks for posting this.

Hi Scotty,

I love this! Great tunes/playing and recording.

Well done.

Thank to all of you for listening. Mel is a young lady and newlywed, whom I judged in many fiddle contests over the years since she was about 12. With the help of feedback from the judges over the years she has come up through the ranks quite well. She does have some timing issues of slowing or dragging where she is supposed to be accelerating, making it difficult to follow with backup instruments. Oh well, I'd say she still did a bang up job on this, even if her  ill trained backup band couldn't stay with her. 

Refreshing.  Very nice job.  Nice tune, arrangment and recording.

Aye laddie one here in bonnie wee perth, cant beat the celtic sound, ken what am saying laddie, brings a wee tear to ma eyes and make me want to down a bottle of 10 year old malt (lol), seriously mate shes a good player, i think with anything changing tempo it going to a bit of a carry on keeping in time, but you done well mate, cheers, Chris, Perth

Scotty,
You done good laddie!!!.....tell miss M. she is stellar also.
Beautiful medley.   Great way to start a Monday.

Thanks!

Very cool, I have no idea how to critique a song like this but it was really cool.

Chregg,
Thank ya Laddie for the listen and the sentiment.

Chrome,
Melanie has moved far away and is out of reach, but if ya need a fiddle player I'm right here.

Rick,
Thanks! I'm glad it helped your day off to a good start! 

Legion,
Thank you kindly!

Frank,
Thank you very much. Mel sure knows how to give me a workout....especially since I never heard the tunes before and had to figure out the chords on my own. 

More folk than symphony, but yes.

Apart from the issues raised did you fun?

Sounds like you did, nicely captured Scott

Thanks for sharing Mel and you work with us.

Fudging?  Fudging???????  Be serious... that was just flat out great.  Not only was the musicianship incredible, but the recording, mix, the whole damn thing was just a joy to listen to.

Okay, you say you won't be happy without a crit?  The clicky thing towards the end was a bit distracting from the incredible playing going on all around it. 

Kudos to you both!

It must be good because every time I hit the link to listen my mouse cursor just spins. Either that, or your on a download only to listen type of setup?

Sorry, I have a weak computer, so processing as of now just ain't working for me.

Why not use sound click, or some other host?
