An old Scottish Celtic Traditional Folk Song. My dad used to play this one when I was a young lad. The melody always stuck in my head and meant something to me, when I heard it again, it brought back some great memories of my younger days. Funny how music can take you away to another time and place. Music is such a powerful trigger. Anyhow I played all the instruments and sang on this one. Not my usual type of musical fare but I still hope you enjoy it.

Now this is cleanly done and gives the proper respect to country/Scottish music. Very authentic. I actually felt the words and music as I listened (NOTE: I always listen to new music with my eyes closed).
One thing that stands out is the way this was delivered. It was delivered with so much heart.

I sure am glad you started singing, Bill. You have a unique and most pleasing voice. Great instrumentation, and beautifully done, Bill of the Bozo Clan.
Tip of the hat to ya, and a sip of Scotch Whiskey for ya. Love it.

Bill,
you know how much this song means to me, & the memories it evokes for me, so I thank you so much for making this gorgeous gorgeous version of it!
Beautiful music & your voice shows your Scottish roots! Its perfect for the song!
A wonderful fitting tribute to your beloved dad.

Bill this is so beautiful I sit here crying it evokes that strong of an emotion. I had no idea you are a Scot. For some reason this makes me feel kindred to the spirit of Scotland and it's people. I love this, it is for me an instant favorite and it will be played on my show this week. Smiles, laughter and love all rolled in one for you.

I started playing guitar when I was 16 with a love for world music, latin and rock. I try to do something in almost every genre to be as rounded a player as I can ! I have been playing in various local bands for about 15 years. When the digital recording age came along I built a home studio and began to learn recording, Acid Looping and combining those elements together to create grooves and compositions. I have a business and a family but I continue to be a weekend warrior playing in a Classic Rock Band for fun and fuel my passion to write grooves, soundtracks, jingle bites and ambient compositions. This is my Hidden Mission !
I also want to thank Frank from Stratage Guitars for providing me the opportunity to own the finest tool for my music compositions. Whether you are playing live or in the studio, Stratage Guitars are nothing short of amazing. I love using my Averon Custom Shop in the studio. It produces any tonal possibility, from sparkly clean warmth to beefy blues tones, smooth jazz sounds, right down to heavy rock grit and everything in between. Stratage produces sonic technology and innovation that re-defines a guitar players true needs, beyond expectation. Truly the most versatile guitar I have ever had the pleasure of playing To learn more about these incredible guitars and basses, visit www.stratageguitars.com
