Hauntingly beautiful duet performed on American Music Shop by fiddle and dobro virtuosos Mark O'Connor and Jerry Douglas. I don't know the name of this piece.
My late farther in his younger days played guitar, mouth organ, accordion, violin and steel saw in his band. He loved to whistle too ... both my parents sang . My father loved the guitar and violin music .... I wish I could have played this duet for him and my mother..... reminds me of how grateful we should be to have loving parents
I've had the privilege of seeing both Jerry and Mark in 'living room concerts' this past year in an intimate venue in Hickory, NC. Both are just amazing talents.
Jerry Douglas is accepted as the pre-eminent dobro player of our time. But Mark O'Connor.... if you don't know about him, go read his history. If you asked him to play the phone book in J#, he'd find a way to do it!
Such a haunting beautiful piece of music. What a person needs to put an end to an otherwise crappy day. Love this song. Thank you so very much for posting.
Yes, Grant's Corner. Gorgeous. That album it's on "Under the Wire" is a great album. Jerry was so skinny. I wish he had done more of this kind of music. Sort of new age, 90's, Windham Hill sounding almost.
Okay, two questions... What meter is this song in, and are there lyrics to the song? It's one of those songs, that for some reason, feels like it has words to it!
The meter is 4/4, but the beginnings of phrases in the A part are tricky. Four of the phrases add 2 extra beats, so that some of the phrases begin on the 3 beat of a measure. The beginnings of phrases "even out" to the first beat of the measure both half way through the A part and then at the end of the A part. In essence the extra 2 beats, when done twice, "cancel" each other and get things back to the first beat of the measure. But the extra beats add 2 measures, and thus, the total number of measures for the A part is 18, rather than the usual 16. The B part is straight 4/4.

Thank you! It's beautiful.... and now I can source it, too! (I've loved Jerry since J D Crowe days... :) )

Is that Albert Lee playing a Mandolin tucked away in the corner? Or am I seeing thing's...
Surely looks like him, doesn't he? I didn't recognize him without his guitar.
At least I'm not alone in my bafflement! If it is him bet he's scorching on the Mando too. Best Wishes Sam.
I thought the same thing and was wondering who it was!
it put me to sleep
You should have stayed asleep and not commented. Perfect.

SUre looks like it.
Yes, it is Vince Gill.
