This little image is a result of a new song that I recently heard. It is an Irish slow waltz, and has such a lovely tune. Of course, it is a fiddle tune, and since I do not read music, I must listen to it over and over to learn the note progressions and tune. Then I have to spend many hours trying to transfer the imbedded tune from my head, to my diatonic accordion. Sometimes that process will take me days and nights on end, and I have spent many nights with a tune keeping me awake, as it just will not stop playing in my brain.....wonderful insomnia eh? Anyway, last evening I spent a couple of hours assembling the items for this arrangement, and this is a horizontal crop of a vertical image. The original had an old Black & White photo included, and I chose not to put it on this blog to preserve a peaceful atmosphere in the tent....The violin is an inheritance from my late Father-in-Law, and he and I spent many many hours in front room sessions when we would go to visit. In case it matters to some, this tune sounds wonderful on the old button box.....Cheers!
