Tune of the Month (May) Chevy Chase

[@Oenloveslife]

You play wonderfully! Your dad's voice is so mellifluous! And the synergy between you is hope-making!

[@phillmaf7319]

A new way to teach history. Just discovered TOTM oldies. Watch it Kathryn ,you could end up as mere backing musician. Your old fellas cool ,rich seams of knowledge. Still shocked by OUT ...I think it's called having your misconceptions and delusions crushed. You are just stepping into your stride! The TOTM are little gems,spontaneous and light. Blessings to your family and freinds.

Wonderful performances by you both and the setting is most appropriate!

[@alexbarrass4252]

Lovely playing and mesmerising poetry!

[@petercowell2051]

Another great tune of the month, thank you. Loved your Dad's input as well, thanks for that Mike.

[@jameswaters9969]

You and your dad make a great team. Amazing

Sir James Douglas, Black Douglas, ended his days killed in combat at the Battle of Teba, Málaga, Spain, fighting against Muslims by the side of Spanish King of Castille and Lion.

I also have a Northern dad (he's Cumbrian), and he tends to be very anecdotal. I remember him dragging me towards the 'licking stones' in Carlisle Castle in the pitch dark. I was scared to death, so I can relate to this.

[@MauriceCondie]

Lovely as ever.

[@HareDeLune]

Oh, that was Mighty! Can't wait for next month's tune! : D

[@heatherdrysdale3832]

Every ruin should have a ballad accompanied by the lowland pipes / Northumbrian pipes

[@ironpirate8]

So the 14th Century?? 🧐

[@johnmightymole2284]

13xx is the 14th century.

[@NSBarnett]

Very good! That ruin appears to have been a ruin for less time than many ruins, with all those laths still in place. Is its story anywhere on the internet, for those interested? Was it really The Black Douglas's castle, or did you say that for atmosphere? What's its name, and can people just wander round, or did you get permission? And was Alec Douglas Home a descendant of theirs?

[@davidgoodwin7269]

Great music and story telling Kathryn. Didn't you used to have a cat called Bench press?

[@TheKathrynTickell]

Ha! Yep - I certainly did - BP for short. That was a long time ago!

[@brianmaricle9646]

It would be wonderful if you could hear this video

thought he was better in caddyshack, was a tad morose here.
