[Harp-L] RE:What about the Irish

["Harping On" <harping.onandon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I love the sound of the Irish Uillean pipes Michelle and that is a great video. 

I first came across the irish pipes watching a performance by Davy Spillane on Riverdance. The melody he played is called (Caoineadh Cu Chulainn) and I found it a most powerful and moving performance.

Here is the video:-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwxga8udIio

I tried to capture some of the essence of the pipes on harmonica on his song.

but it's missing that wonderful drone and soaring sound (a looper sounds a good option for the drone)- must give it another try!

I also wrote this harmonica part for my Dad R.I.P as a pipe style lament called 'In memory' https://youtu.be/wi4stMSgDkE
