I lost my dear husband 5 1/2 years ago, my mothering aunt a year later and youngest son one year ago., This piece of music speaks to me too. Thank you for this lovely song Tom".
It was my privilege to have met Tom. I play his Da Slockit Light as a finger style guitar piece arranged by the late, David Surette. Also feature it in my group, The Celtic Village Show Band here in central Florida, USA
Very happy to have the original version of Da Slockit Light and the story of the tune.If you know the story you will never play the tune as same as before..Thanks a million for sharing
I've had the great honour to meet Tom In Stirling and then to stay at his home in Lerwick. I was not a good fiddler bur with him I could play very well. And it was the first time someone would come from France to meet him. We had great time in Lerwick pubs. Marvellous memories...
Je suis allé la bas par mon travail , ( en 1979) c'est la première fois de ma vie que je voyais des arbres couchés par le vent ...je me rappelle bien de l 'ambiance des pubs de Lerwick. J avais acheté un disque d un ensemble de violons et une contrebasse c était très beau , il y a de grandes chances que ce monsieur jouait sur le disque beaucoup plus tard j'ai appris l 'accordéon et mis ce morceau à mon répertoire On le joue souvent dans les sessions et je suis très content d'avoir la version d origine et l histoire qui l 'accompagne comme beaucoup de morceaux traditionnels..Je l 'ai joué encore mardi dernier..Merci pour votre témoignage
@@jacquesbrouyer8687 Salut Jacques, content de te retrouver ici ! Les îles Shetland sont toujours un haut lieu de la musique, j'ai eu la chance de participer à une mémorable session au Lounge de Lerwick il y a deux ans.

It is a real pleasure to hear Tom playing Slockit Light at the pace he intended. So many folks these days seem to play this far too slowly, more like a dirge ... something that Tom found a little annoying. His simple phrasing and style really bring this tune to life without fancy ornament or affected melancholic speed
Simply beautiful ,I only just heard of Tom Anderson this from a CD called The Silver Bow along with Aly Bain which I bought this week, I'm now trying to learning the tune for the Moothie.

How absolutely wonderful to be able to see and hear Dr.Tom Anderson playing his own beautiful compostion! One of my favourites.

One of my favorite tunes and and one of my favorite people. I would have loved to hear you or him play it. I am learning finger style guitar.
@@elizabethclark5070 You can buy his Tab book, Down The Brae. It’s in there
A pleasure to him playing, and his own compositions. The light is still burning.
Fantastic and soul touching ,especially Da Slockit Light

Auld Resting Chair and Da Slocket Light are beautiful!

Magnifique ! Sur Da Auld Resting Chair, l'excellente Violet Tulloch au piano.
RIP, Dr. Anderson 💙
