Julianne Johnson Old Time Fiddle And Banjo Song

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:12:15 +0000

We always wondered who Julianne Johnson was since a fiddle tune was named for her, so I wrote this song….”my brother was a coal miner from the mountains of West Virginia and he fell in love with a gal whose beau joined the Union army and never came home. Now they hung my brother and this is the story he wanted all you folks to know.”

A performance of “Mairi’s Wedding” from “Anne Murray in Nova Scotia”, 1993. Filmed on the wharf at Neil’s Harbour, Cape Breton. includes “Michael Rankin’s Reel”. Love the stepdancing!

“Mairi’s Wedding” (or the “Lewis Bridal Song”) is a well-known Scottish song. The lyrics are as follows:

Chorus
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi’ s wedding

1. Over hill-ways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shielings through the town
All for the sake of Mairi

Chorus

2. Plenty herring plenty meal
Plenty peat tae fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as weel
That’s the toast for Mairi

Chorus

3. Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eye as any star
Mairi’s got them all by far
That’s my darlin’ Mairi

Chorus

1. Over hill-ways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the sheiling through the town
All for sake of Mairi

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse #2
Repeat Chorus x2

Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi’ s wedding

Ashokan Farewell (Jay Ungar) old time fiddle style

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 10:16:39 +0000

This song is by Jay Unger and is one of the most beautiful waltzes ever written I think.

It’s not a hard song to play, it’s just that every time I’m in front of a recording device I louse up!!! lol…just natural I guess.

Ryan’s web site – http://www.captainfiddle.com Ryan Thomson played these tunes by request during taping of a TV show on his music making.

This is just an excerpt of the show, and other parts with other instruments and musical styles can be found in other of Ryan’s You Tube videos. The tunes on this video consist of: Top of Cork Road, Haste to the Wedding, Smash the Windows, Road to Lisdoonvarna, Morrison’s Jig, and Drowsy Maggie, and Cooley’s Reel. Top of Cork Road is also called “Father O Flynn.” Ryan performs and teaches these tunes. Visit his web site for information on his performances, instructional videos, books, and recordings.
