Flowers of Bermuda (Stan Rogers Cover)

Many thanks to Joel Henderson for the suggestion!
In case you didn’t know, this song puts breath placement in places I’m not used to. This is probably the tenth take of this song and I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to my neighbors. I probably should have taken the time to practice and really try to nail it but for some reason, I was like, “NO. This is the day I’m recording this. And all of my neighbors will just have to grin and bear it!”
Go check out Stan’s original version if you haven’t already. And as always, thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful version, lovely runs in the penultimate chorus. Well done. 👍🏻

[@Diesel-ship23]

You nailed it, I know it’s a quick strum and fast paced. But you handled it perfectly, well done. Stan would be proud and I know that Nathan and Garnet would be too if they listened to you play

[@IGotN0]

Another banger! MORE STAN, can I recommend the Mary Ellen Carter? keep it up!

[@MaryWinterroth]

Thanks, Jason! And yep, that one’s on the list! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@nominalhammer4724]

I love this song, Nathan's version made me cry like a baby. Yours is amazing, dear old stan would be proud!

[@cin0078]

Every thought of doing a cover of Stan Roger’s Northwest passage? I reckon it would sound great !

[@Statmusicrc]

I thought you did very well. I like this song,

[@SteveZerker]

Wow, you're really good!

[@Islandteacherwkbx]

Mary, thanks for posting this recording. You didn't need a deep breath because you were brilliant.

[@MaryWinterroth]

Thank you so much!!

[@kurteisner67]

What a banger! Totally blown away, outstanding performance. Stan Rogers would be proud. Greetings from Germany! 🚣‍♀️🇨🇦🤝🇧🇲🤝🇩🇪🚣‍♂️

[@suzannelawson9215]

Do you know the ballad "Willy o' Winsbury?" It is a favourite of mine and the one by Pentangle is the best. Jacqui McShee sang an outstanding version from their early album which you can find on KZbin to listen to. If you could cover it with guitar, that would be so nice.

[@jameshiggins9864]

Beautiful version of the song. Sung with emotion. It's a difficult song to sing, I can see why you took a deep breath at the beginning.

[@MaryWinterroth]

Thank you, James!

@@MaryWinterroth Haha, thanks for posting! I mean, you started showing up in my recommended not long after I started listening to folk music and watching banjo tutorials, so why not, right?

[@joseluiselvirad]

Another excellent song and another magnificent acoustic and vocal interpretation, I really liked your version Mary, congratulations and thanks for sharing these moments-Greetings from Madrid and see you soon, like 45

Thank you so much, Jose!

[@joelhenderson4450]

You get a like just for trying this melodically devilish and lyrically complex classic.

[@MaryWinterroth]

Hahaha thanks, Joel!😄

[@paigeh3410]

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS AMAZING!!! So beautiful, Stan would be so proud. Thank you so much for sharing your voice with us!

[@margaretcrossmusic27]

Love it! Sounds great and I'm also wowed by your ability to remember all these lyrics!

[@MaryWinterroth]

Hahaha thanks, Margaret! Especially considering how many takes exist of me forgetting the lyrics! 😂

[@dean8842]

Hey, don't bother me right now, I'm on a Mary Winterroth discovery journey... and WOW I've found some real musical gems so far!! And the journey continues...

[@MaryWinterroth]

Thank you so much, Dean!! I am so glad you're enjoying my music! Thanks for watching!

[@AaronKreider]

Yeah! More Stan Rogers songs! btw - on the off-chance you haven't heard of it - book recommendation: Rise Up Singing.

[@MaryWinterroth]

Thanks for the recommendation, I had actually never heard of that book!

[@JBurdoo]

Lovely! I've tried this, but my recording ability is terrible; interested to know how you did it.

[@MaryWinterroth]

Hi Jennifer, most of my videos are actually just done on my iPhone! It helps to have a stand for it (mine comes with a ring light, which I use less and less because I prefer natural light), but it's actually a very simple setup! Thanks for watching!

[@raptorman04_ttv13]

Amazing 👌

Great singing and playing! Such a fast song, too

[@TheSuperMerc]

That was awesome! Great job!

[@volteichefe7028]

Awesome cover, miss! Do you mind sharing 'em chords to a poor guitar beginner?

[@MaryWinterroth]

Okay, I’m typing this on my phone, so forgive me if the formatting is off. Intro: G (the first three string plucked individually) C D G Chorus: He was the (C)captain (D)of the nightin(G)gale 21 (D)days from Clyde in (D)coal He could smell the (C)flowers (G)of Bermuda In the (C or Em)gale when he (D)died off the (G) north rock shoal. Verse: Just five short (C)hours (D)from Bermu(G)da In a (D)fine October gale There came a (C)cry Oh (G)there be breakers dead a(C)head From the (G)collier (D) nightingale No sooner (C)had the (D)captain brought her (G)round Came a (D)rending crash below. Hard on her (C)beam ends (G)groaning went the nightin(Em)gale And over (D)side her (G)main mast goes.

[@MaryWinterroth]

Also, the time signature of this song is so funky so I wrote the chord right in front of the syllable I play it on. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching!

[@volteichefe7028]

@@MaryWinterroth Thank you! Formating is great.

[@volteichefe7028]

@@MaryWinterroth Don't worry, made sense to me. Again, thank you very much!

[@prikarsartam]

It's very unusual to find such an authentic performance, where another curious learner is so finely helped as well.

[@samuelhorwood]

Nice job Mary
