A bit of Wilko Johson even sneaked into this one, with the thumb creeping up over the fretboard and the whirling, sporadically dampened right hand chopping out those 6/8ths as the fiddle delivers yet another masterpiece of precision, drive and emotion.
Great job you both, very well done! I love especially the second tune and it makes me think of the good times a little melancholically, when it was possible to play sessions together. Hope these times will return soon!
Love these! I learnt Dusty Windowsills from Lee Collinson, on guitar (!) in a workshop, along with The Atholl Highlanders, long before I played fiddle. Looking forward to having a go at the 1st one. Other 3 part jigs - Dingle Regatta of course and my favourite The Redheugh Library Jig!
Great to see you guys playing again! :) I couldn't help myself thinking throughout that first jig that it sounded as if it might have had words to it at some point - would either of you know if it had any connections to We'll Aal Be Wed In Our Auld Claiths? It's the first song on track four from Live and Unaccompanied by The Unthanks if you want a listen!
Yes - the first jig is the tune to a well known (and deeply misogynistic!) old song, first collected by Herd in the 1760s and included by Burns in the Merry Muses. As a singer I can tell you it's a bugger - shows the signs of a dance tune that was eventually used for a lyric. MY WIFE'S A WANTON WEE THING. My wife's a wanton wee thing, My wife's a wanton wee thing, My wife's a wanton wee thing, She winna be guided by me.
She play'd the loon or she was married, She play'd the loon or she was married. She play'd the loon or she was married. She'll do it again or she die. She sell'd her coat and she drank it, She sell'd her coat and she drank it; She row'd hersel' in a blanket, She winna be guided by me.
She mindit na when I forbad her. She mindit na when I forbad her, I took a rung and I claw'd her, An' a braw good bairn was she.

I can't find dots for The Redheugh Library by Robin Dunn but here is a reasonable recording: ruclips.net/video/Qmi4Y6txMq0/видео.html
Great stuff Lara, we don't know The Redheugh Library Jig (yet) so thanks for the link 👍👍👍
@@thegoodtunes I found the dots but only have a photo - how can I send it? Ah, you have Instagram, sent on that!

Many thanks Christoffer, we definitely do want a listen!
