Thank you so much for sharing this amazing version of the Cuckoo, as well as that poem, Sam! How much I’d have loved to see you and your dad playing in person when I was there years ago.
I find it quite interesting how these folks songs can be played so differently from different regions/time periods and by the musician who is playing it. This is the third rendition of this song by you that I've heard, and each one is fantastic, and all so different at the same time, but as soon as you start that banjo roll I know my ears are in for a treat. Thanks for sharing this memory with us.
Great performance of my favorite song. My condolences , of such I lost my own as well on my 31st birthday 1994 .I enjoy the poem in dialect and translated. By far my favorite culture is of The Appalachian regions where my great great grandfather first settled in 1860
It'll be 10 years this November since I've lost my dad. Thanks for sharing this I really enjoyed listening to you guys making music together. I really love a Scot playing American bluegrass. My dad loved bluegrass his father was into bluegrass too. He played the guitar, banjo, and fiddle.
Wow, it's clear that you got your showmanship and love of music from your father. RIP, and may his memory be a blessing. Your music is bringing a lot of joy to me here in the US. I'll have to pull out my banjo and play along with you two.
One of the best things I've seen on youtube in a long time. Rest easy Mr Shackleton
