Phil Cunningham & Aly Bain Midnight on the Water

[@artaxAF]

It's funny how Aly has such a knack for bringing out the best in American folk music.

[@markmcmillan8676]

The best version of this old Texas waltz that I’ve ever heard.

[@KesslerWatsonMusic]

I agree! 100%

[@lloydmcdermott3995]

No words, Inspirational, beautiful and everything ❤️

[@KesslerWatsonMusic]

This is the best version. I agree with Mark. So beautifully played. Amazing

[@thomaspollock4274]

Two of my favorite musicians playing a beautiful waltz simply with feeling.

Ali Bain lives this tune as he plays it.

[@kololikate]

Someone else has said sublime. Beautiful tune and just about the best version I have heard. I love it.

[@paulbond4812]

Ka pai korua . Some of us play this tune at the Moutere Inn near Nelson NZ at the Thursday night Folk session .But you play it with such finesse .Good on you guys .

[@deltafour1212]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@michaelstone3424]

Prettiest song ever written. thank you

[@alexandermethven]

More like this there totally amazing 👍

[@alanknights2779]

Very subtle chords in the accordion part. Violin carrying the Rhythm, in folk music a waltz is never a boring banal 123 like they play in the 19th century.

Sublime

Any Ramblin' Rovers here? Cheese of the ...?

[@peterwhite7428]

Why is Aly using a cheap old factory made (probably Chinese) violin? Luthiers like myself are disappointed when we see this. Cremona has outlawed the importation of these instruments.

[@marklammas2465]

Good players will make even an inexpensive instrument sound magic. I have one "good" flute, and all the rest are "cheap crap". I use them all, because each one sounds different. I reckon Aly simply thought the sound he can get from that fiddle suited the tune at the time. Or maybe, like my flutes right now, some of his alternative fiddles are in for repair or adjustment.

[@peterwhite7428]

@@marklammas2465 makes sense, but still a little strange. I don’t disagree with you, but who knows ?

[@dolcefarniente8768]

@@peterwhite7428 Aly Bain is a Shetland fiddler of immense talent, and who are you? it amazes me that you feel the need to make an issue of the instrument he's playing in this set. It sounds grand, proving that the musician makes the music, not the critic.

[@peterwhite7428]

@@dolcefarniente8768 don’t be amazed. I know all about Aly Bain. Who am I? I am a life long professional violin maker and musician. I have won a gold medal for violin making in 2010 in Cremona Italy. My question was not intended to provoke you to such a level of outrage. I greatly admire him. Please lighten up

I’d be more interested to know why they are dressed like a pair of chefs?
