SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR – for Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:51:20 +0000

“She moved through the fair” is one of the most beautiful traditional irish song: its original author is unknown, but the modern lyrics were written mostly by Padraic Colum. Most modern arrangements of the song can be traced to the recording by Fairport Convention in 1968, who adopted the style of the song from the travelling singer Margaret Barry. Also of note is the recording of the song by Alan Stivell in 1973.
Here I try to play it only for fingerstyle acoustic guitar. This adaptation is mine and I play it with my McIlroy guitar, tuning in DADGBD.

This is my arrangement of “Danny Boy”, with a modern twist, which will be featured in a future CD of traditional songs, anthems and ballads.Danny Boy, is widely considered an Irish anthem, although written by Englishman Frederick Weatherly, based on the Londonderry Air in 1910. Nonetheless, “Danny Boy” is considered by many Irish and Canadian Americans to be their unofficial signature song. Transcriptions and music is available for this arrangement.By the way, this guitar is a custom made Flyde acoustic from the UK.

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.”
