Don you inspired a 77 yr old man with your nice playing. I learned this piece listening to you. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

Lovely. Simply lovely. In mid-December, I'm going to Scotland specifically to play "Calum's Road" on Calum's road. It's one of my favourite Scottish fiddle tunes. I didn't know how popular the tune is until I was staying in a hostello in Milan and met a Scots lass who told me they play it at all the dances now. I'm going to Scotland because I have a close friend whose eldest daughter is in medical school in Edinburgh. He goes to Scotland frequently and invited me to join him on his next trip. His youngest daughter and I play "Calum's Road" together, and have since she was seven. She's now twelve and has become quite accomplished as a violinist, though she prefers to study classical. Anyway, she and I will play "Calum's Road" together on Calum's Road, or the nearest pub given that it will be winter in Scotland. Life doesn't get much better than this, eh.

[@DavidHansen408]

I've been to Scotland but not to Calum's Road, have a wonderful visit.

[@caesar8683]

Zale Dalen mid December eh? Less than a month to go. on behalf of a Scotsman, have a good trip!

[@djonakachopper]

Wonderful tune, and as usual very nice execution. On my playlist! (along with Capercaillie's) BTW, David, I noticed that you took down Knotted Cord. May I ask was that a copyright issue?

[@MrErsvargn]

I try to accompany you on guitar, but the chords I find on the Internet are not the same as yours. Where can I find your chord progression?

[@MrErsvargn]

I think I've just figured out how to accompany it. :)

[@nino194760]

David que bonita cancion por favor mandeme los acordes en guitarra , porque quiero tocarla con usted ...gracias

[@DavidHansen408]

Lo siento pero estás solo en esto, no tengo nada escrito, acordes de melodía, nada.

[@alisdar1234]

Hola. Puedes intenter Lo siguiente, primera parte: D D Bm Bm G D G A D D Bm Bm G D G|A7 D Segunda parte: G G A D G G D Bm G G A D G D G|A7 D

[@nino194760]

[@nino194760]

como es tan intuitiva musicalmente , aunque no tenga los acordes la tocaré de oido. Saludos--

[@jameshamilton9933]

This is a good walking song - the beat fits in well with slow, heavy footsteps. Now we just need someone to write some lyrics for it!

[@davidwilkie9551]

Nearest to perfect "lilt".
