MacPherson's Lament, MacPherson's Rant

Night with the Keltic Dead performance in March 2009 at the Allen, Texas Public Library Civic Auditorium. Earnie Taft (violin), David Sparks (vocals and guitar), Mark Kenneth (accordion), and Shaun-Patrick O. Young (diatonic harmonica) play and sing this traditional, Scottish song and tune. Part of the Allen Public Library cultural overview initiative.

@AnnaMariaMc
Thank you AnnaMariaMc. I believe if you check the spelling, it is the way you described.

[@KelticDead]

@sirdaniel1975 -- I did some additional research on the MacPherson clan in my making of the tune, "Maids of Arrochar." Check out my KelticDead Broadsides on my website. Thank you for your interest in the KelticDead.

Seriously...It's McPherson, not McPhearson. Say "FER" out loud. What sound does it make? Like FUR not FEAR! When will people get it right?

[@AnnaMariaMc]

I wasn't trying to be mean or anything really. It's just one of my biggest pet peeves when someone mispronounces my last name haha

[@fyiyrcn]

you must be Irish?

[@64marion]

you are quite right, I hate when Americans (or others) strangulate our language, instead of doing a little pronunciation research first, instead. great rendition of the tune though.
