  • Shenandoah - played by Mairead Nesbitt in HD with stunning sound quality.
    One of America's most popular folk songs, is known as a "short haul shanty" and is said to be the true story of a white trader who courted the daughter of an Indian chieftain. The song apparently originated among American or Canadian voyagers on the Missouri River - sometimes called the "Miz-zoo".
    SHENANDOAH
    The old Miz-zoo has friendly waters
    Away! You rolling river
    The Indians camp along its border
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    A white man loved an Indian lady
    Away! You rolling river
    The daughter of Chief Shenandoah
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
    Away! You rolling river
    Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
    Away! You rolling river
    I bring you tools and fire water
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    'Tis seven years since first I knew her
    Away! You rolling river
    She's in full bloom for a man to woo her
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    Oh Shenandoah, with gifts I'm laden
    Away! You rolling river
    Give me the hand of this young maiden
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    Then Shenandoah said - Go! Forsake her!
    Away! You rolling river
    An Indian brave has come to take her
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.
    Farewell, my love - I'm bound to leave you
    Away! You rolling river
    Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
    Away! We're bound away
    'Cross the wide Missouri.

      I attended the St. Patrick's Day dinner in New York City from the Midwest which is a preparation for the big parade on the 17th this last March. After the dinner was done and the coffee was passed around, Mairead Nesbitt danced around the room playing her violin. Well done and a lot of fun.

    In case anyone is wondering, the (songs)(tunes)(reels) are Shenandoah( Slower; Intro), The faster section starts with The Cock and The Hen a.k.a Dennis Ryan's Slipjig transitioning into The Pacific Slope Reel. And if you are REALLY INTERESTED, like me, the Shenandoah is in Dmaj, The Cock in the Hen is in F#min, and The Pacific Slope Reel is in Amaj. Mairead Nesbitt is a fantastic player!

    I played a trumpet and French horn. I LOVE music. I tried to learn the guitar and piano, but I couldn't figure out how to move my hands and fingers differently, at the same time. I don't have this gift, like this woman in the video has, and many others have. I wish did! While I can listen to music, I don't have the ear to play it. I can't "feel" music. I had to read the sheets to play it, and did it well. I played these instruments in a United States Army Band for 8 years. I can learn songs; memorize notes, but I wish I could "feel" it, when playing it. I can't improvise! I don't know how to play music like it's meant to be played!

Iknow...789, I felt like I couldn't fit in when others could just "play" (let it all out; feel the music; let the fingers do the walking...), yet I couldn't, even though I tried. My brain was wired in a different way. It didn't mean that I didn't understand music. I can, and LOVE music! I still, selfishly wish I had that "ear to hear" thing!

    It's not just her beauty and talent that makes Mairead a pleasure to watch, but the sheer joy she has when playing her fiddle. If she ever left the group she would take a lot of the magic with her. I don't know if CW could survive very long without her.

      I think if she left that would officially be it for CW. I think she's really the only reason a lot of people are still following them. Now that all of their best vocalists are gone, people better hope and pray Máiréad stays on, otherwise it's over.
