Im not sure i can do that….

I’ve fallen for Amelia’s waltz ever since I heard this street performer years ago play it with his broken bow hairs flying in the wind. Thanks for the lovely rendition. A

So fun!

WOW! Awesome :)

🥲

Who knew: that the melody for "Yankee Doodle" is believed to have originated from this song? Very well done!

Thanks a lot ❤❤

Just thank you. Wonderful!!❤

Best Morrisons’s jig on you tube.

Excellent teaching video, thanks! Just wondering about the left hand fingers flying straight up. Is this the best technique for students to be learning?

It is in the repertoire to be played by the Outstanding Open Band at the South Coast Folk Society's FolkOut! contradance at the Langlois Cheese Factory in Langlois, OR. on Aug 3, 2024. Hope it works out for all the players and dancers!

Beautifully played. What make of strings do you use?

🤎🤎🤎

Thanks!

This is so helpful! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing! My family are Finnish-Americans, and despite living around Fin culture, and having a grandfather who played in groups for dances, I still have to work on reclaiming this part of my heritage. I will definitely be sending your video to my traditional jam groups in New England to see if they would like to learn it! *goes to check out your channel for more songs*

I love this tune at all speeds. Played slowly. it has the same kind of haunting quality as King of the Fairies. Your faster version is about the speed I play it for English Country dancing, with a a floor full of 'grey haired' dancers, but would wind it up a bit if we have a younger more energetic crowd. A lovely tune and one of my favorites, thank you ;<)

I'm Emile's son Jim - wanted to say good job

Brilliant thank you 🙏

Love that since this is a video, we can always rewind and replay. Or to put it another way, we can, um, backup and push ;-) Thank you Lora!

An excellent tune and an excellent job of playing it!

Very nice!

Marvelous playing!

That's cool. I play this on guitar, not sure how fast it's supposed to be, but your speed is about as fast as I can accurately. Same key too.

Excellent playing of both tunes!

Very nice! Maybe change the name to Garfield’s Hornpipe ? So people can find it when they search? Thanks for all your lessons and tips!

In a way , while being played slower this song has hints of “ King of the Fairies “ in it . Great playing and excellent no nonsense, easy to understand tutorials, thank you 🙏

whew, this is slow!

Thanks!

It’s a very pretty waltz. It doesn’t sound overly complicated to learn, the melody would be a good humming tune to then learn by ear. You also play it GREAT

You asked for our opinions. I think you play them both well, but they aren't waltzes I'll plan to learn. They aren't as interesting as many of the waltzes you play. That's no reflection on your playing, though! Oh, and...it sounds to me like they could loop back from the second to the first waltz, if one wanted to repeat.

Great playing as always. The best teacher. Keeps a very waltz feeling.

What a lovely traditional waltz! And a marvelous job of playing it!

Beautiful!!

A very fine waltz and a very fine job of playing it!

You do a marvelous job with this lovely but somewhat complicated waltz! Thanks for going through it twice.

A really fine job with a complicated but lovely waltz!

That's a lovely Waltz and it's beautifully played!

A lovely pair of waltzes and a marvelous job of playing both!

Nice song

Takes lots of bow control

Thank you. What is your "strum machine "?

Nice song. Even the yorkies like it like i do. Thank you. My french is now not so good but i believe it is night and day.
