This tune is an original written by Lindsay Davis and arranged by LittleJohn (duo). Inspiration for the name of this tune came from a common ancestor of both Lindsay Davis and Mark Geslison, which is the same family line that inspired the duo's name "LittleJohn." When Samuel Walton Utley and Marie Berry Utley took their family of 6 children to Winter Quarters, Iowa (1847) to join fellow saints ...

Rockin' Irish Reels (Michael McAuley's & Upstairs in a Tent)
Просмотров 451Год назад
We love Irish traditional music as much as we love American traditional music. We also love many of the sounds of contemporary music like Rock, Country, Jazz, and more. With this project we wanted to combine the sounds of traditional Irish reels with 1980s Rock. This is not unprecedented. If you’d like to hear more of this sound you can refer to the family band from Ireland called the Corrs, or...
Major George Morrison & Nighean na Cailliche (Scottish Pipe Set)
Просмотров 721Год назад
These tunes are typically played by pipe bands so our special touch is that we added fiddle and guitar to the tune set. The first tune is a march, while the second tune is a jig, which are typical with Scottish piping music. Alex Morrill was our guest piper for this video while Erik Abbott recorded the original bagpipe audio. The filming took place in the Wasatch Mountains of north central Utah.
Little Liza Jane
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Год назад
Little Liza Jane is an American folk song likely from the early or middle 19th century. This rendition of the song is about places in the U.S. “I’ve got a friend in Tennessee, who plays the fiddle just like thee” is actually accurate for LittleJohn Duo because they have a friend in Tennessee who plays the fiddle. Hampton town is a reference to Hampton, New Hampshire-not far from the hometown of...
Hand Me Down My Fiddle & Bow
Просмотров 774Год назад
Hand Me Down My Fiddle & Bow is Lindsay Davis' and Mark Geslison’s rendition of an old American song. It was highly adapted from the original to fit the instruments played in the video, namely, fiddle and mandolin. This is fun way to arrange a song for a duo where both musicians sing and play their respective instruments. The mandolin is Mark’s 1921 Gibson F4 model. For an instrument over 100 y...
Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou My Vision is of Irish origin and is known by the tune name "Slane." It is not known just how old the melody is, but variations on the melody date back hundreds of years in both Ireland and Scotland. Slane is a town located in northeast Ireland in county Meath. The melody was named after that town at some point in its history and is well known across the British Isles. Though we didn't s...
Leather Britches
Просмотров 1 тыс.Год назад
This tune is a traditional American tune that has been a favorite of ours. Leather Britches is most often heard as a hoedown style piece that is more upbeat, but we decided to take a more ethereal approach and loved what we came up with! We hope you enjoy listening to this arrangement as much as we had creating it!
Hard Times Come Again No More

Hard Times Come Again No More was published in 1854. It was composed by Stephen Foster perhaps only a year or two prior to its publication. The song predates the American Civil war by several years, but it became more widely known during the war. Over time it became an emotional anthem for Americans-especially those who study the Civil War and the post war reconstruction era. This song has been...

Beautiful!
Thank you!
Voices match very good
Thank you!
Beautiful version.
thanks!
Still some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard
thank you!
You can feel the sorrow, from the Civil war period. You can feel the pathos. So beautiful. More sorrowful songs come that period, as we can surely understand.
hard times come again no more me lleva muy cerca deDios
Beautiful
Thank you
大好きです✨大好き❤
Beautiful
Thank you
You have your own style, no matter what song. That is great respect coming from my side. I love the peace and the natur. Thank you :)
Thanks for listening!
Beautiful- this song came to me at the very moment I needed it - thank you ❤️
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Most beautiful
Thank you
Another favorite...fun lyrics! 😄
Yay, thank you!
Simple, pero bello!!
Thank you!
Lovely arrangement and playing. A favorite of mine to play also. :) TY!
Many thanks!
A lovely, delicate and moving performance. Brings me to tears and joy at the same time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The peace in that song sang by you is mighty and deserves respect. Furthermore you can see how they liked that song and how they felt in to there soul. How they moved how they played and sang is calming and deep. Thank you for that video.
Thank you so much!
Spectacular play
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Does this singer, James Mangan, have a RUclips channel or social media? I'd love to hear more of his singing.
Unfortunately no, but so happy you enjoyed it!
Beautiful. I would love to hear more James Mangan but can't find him anywhere. Any ideas?
He doesn't have much of a presence online...hopefully we can include him on more!
@@littlejohnduo3543 Please do. I'll makke sure I follow more closely. I love your music.
Thanks for doing the last verse. Folks tend to leave it out. Very lovely rendition. Foster never got the financial recognition he deserved despite his music being sung and loved by everyone.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is simply brilliant. So full of harmony. This combination of the musicians is making this fantastic song very unique.
Thanks so much!
This is just lovely. I am a living historian for stories and the music of the Civil War and I play this often, as well as the parody the soldiers sang; "Hard Tack..." I do think this is my favorite cover for this - vocals and instruments. TY!
Thanks so much!!! We loved doing this arrangement so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This one put a little pep in my step!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very peaceful. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
Beautiful rendition and beautiful scenery!
If there was one thing the Irish came over the pond for it was their love of the land❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 beautiful country beautiful music 😊😊
This song always reminds me of the Famine - an event which would have had an effect on Stephen Foster with his Irish roots - I wonder if this song was influenced by the Famine?
Thanks!
Perfect❤❤❤❤❤thankyou
Thanks!
Who’s cutting onion here?! 😢 Oh my this is soft, sweet n bitter but so soothing. Exquisite. ❤️
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Just played again as I love this performance...I play & sing on guitar however there are at least four verses & most singers I hear only sing two or maybe three versus....pity as the words are so meaningful.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Thank you!
One of my favorite songs and one of my favorite versions.
Thanks!
I love his voice.
Yes! His voice is great and he was so fun to work with!
Love me Stephen Foster and this is a beautiful rendition!
Thanks so much!
Beautifully presented. The fiddle and the voice stand together but 2 different talents. They accompany but do not compete.
Thank you! It was so fun to arrange
Priceless. Thanks! Good fiddling and guitar.
Thank you!
Well done! And those frozen fingers! 🥶
Yes. it was cold! Glad you enjoyed it
Cada vez es más difícil superar el vídeo anterior! Espectacular!!!
I’m so happy to have found this performance this morning. Beautiful.
Thanks!
Great fiddling.
thank you!
I had a tear in both eyes, and I know not why. Something about it being one of Stephen Foster’s lesser known songs, certainly outside America, and even in this affluent age, it has something to say to mankind.
So glad I found this? Truly beautiful! James, are you married?
I'd love to know where you video'd this performance. No doubt carefully chosen, very beautiful.
Wasatch mountains in Utah. Very beautiful place!
This beats Taylor Swift ANY DAY!
Thanks!!!
Who is this with that beautiful voice. I love the song..
Absolute perfection! Thank you so much for sharing ! The integration of each party's contribution is truly more than the sum of the parts, including the invasive Canadian thistle with its Scot's reference in the "wild and precious setting"❣️ I will be following each and all of you❤
Thanks!!
S🎻weet
Thanks!!
There should be a law against such a great song as this being turned into such a saccharine monstrosity. Ugh.
and how do you think it should be done? to each his own.
