Awesome, love this waltz

The first reel is O She's Comical (aka The Rejected Suitor), the second is Smith's Burn.

Le meilleur violon possible

Very nice lively

A banger

This is so cool coming across, this is my great grandfather

Thanks for this

That's my great uncle Reg!

Great job cousin

Johnnny gave me a drive when I was a young poor boy hitch hiking on a rainy day ...

Square dance to that piece of music,

I was a fan of Miss Supertest from the late 50s-early 60s. As a fiddler, I need to learn this tune!

Ned always has been,and still is,my favorite fiddler🎻

Had this entire album on 8 track tape back in the 70s. Wow - it sure brings back memories! 🙂 This song "Early Bird of Spring" is the theme song for The Zabava program on CFCW.

Love this song thanks for uploading it

My mother danced for Don Messer way back before I was born. Tap danced

Best Damn Country Fiddle’n 👍🏽

One of the best versions of this classic

Once again Don does it best

There is another popular tune with this title. FYI.

Bright Tune. Smile appears when I hear. Thank you.

I wonder if Ned created the third turn, the bit with the shuffle? Anyone know? Don Messer didn't record the tune with that turn, AFAIK, and it doesn't appear in his sheet music, that I've seen.

i love this song

Thanks so much for uploading these songs, Smiley the greatest of heartfelt songs, 😢😢😢

I had this album when I was a kid

My Uncle Cliffs favorite tune

This is my grandmas cousin. Crazy to hear this.

Weird guy on the metro sent me here. I was too stunned to mention my deep and abiding love of loud fiddle music at the time (I'd been talking to my friend about wanting to start fiddle lessons earlier that very evening). Hope he's found some peace with the state of the youth.

This is my all time favorite waltz.

Gabulous playing. One of my favorite tunes

We came from the same village, ,( Braeside, Ont.) the most beautiful village in the Ottawa valley.

I was born one night when the stars are bright in the middle of September, In a little shack up the Pontiac, where the old black river flows, And the rolling hills and the old saw mills are the first things I remember, In a little shack up the Pontiac, where the old black river flows Chorus: Carry me to the land of the white pine timber, Take me back where the old black river flows, There I'll be with the old pals I remember, In a little shack up the Pontiac, where the old black river flows. In the summertime with those pals of mine, down to Vinton's dales we'd wander, Through the fields of hay, down to Campbell's bay, and we'd watch the big log tows, With the winter snow to the camps we'd go, in from Waltham just up yonder, And we'd lumberjack up the Pontiac, where the old black river flows. Chorus When the spring come round and the drive was down, all the stores and shops were busy, and to spend our dough, Fort Colounge we'd go, where we'd buy new Sunday clothes, Then Labine's hotel where we'd sing and yell, and we'd dance the young girls dizzy, Roaring lumberjack from the Pontiac, where the old black river flows. Chorus --- There's the lyrics to the best of my comprehension. here's a little article on Labine's hotel :freepages.rootsweb.com/~guedrylabinefamily/genealogy/labine_hotel_fort_coulonge.html Sadly it seems all the old hotels have burnt down, lending a degree of finality to the era.

The tune is that of Guy Mitchell's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 1952.

Thanks. Interesting. Compare and contrast with Bothy Band's Farewell To Erin.

i love this song

My favorite version of this reel.

Graham's music has been a great.teacher. Learned a lot of tunes from him, including this one

Glad I found this channel. I also collect canadian folk and old-time records. Great stuff on here and it's good to have it back out in the world, we can't let it be forgotten.

hot dog. Ed is good ( british understatement means he is fantastic) I learn a lot of backup from him. thanks.

Oh CANADA! 🥰🎶🥳🎵👏👏👏
