[@gordon962]

Lovely stuff. Mighty accompaniment as well. Is this the gentleman from Athas? I'm acquainted with Heather.

Great rendition! Questions: What's "trim"? A place? What is the meaning of "humours" in these tune contexts?

[@DragoShane]

Dave S. Trim I believe is in county Meath, and in the context of tunes "humours" is kinda the energy or spirit of the place, so the tune tries to sum up the spirit of Trim. There are a bunch of "humours" tunes, I'd recommend the humours of glendart and the humours of tulla.

Thank you!

[@seamusmcguire8657]

@@DragoShane That sums it up well, fair play!

[@fractuss]

I believe there's a Castle Trim.

[@veroniquefargue9096]

C'est un traditionnel ?

[@OhNoNotAGinger]

Is the guitar tuned in DADGAD?

[@jksiazek76]

Tis indeed! I borrowed David Howley's Collins that night - great guitar!
