Two old standards I came across last week. Found a biab file for them on Allanahs website and combined the two. I changed the style to real tracks and I think the end result is
good. The first photo is of Inverness harbour about 8 miles west from where I live

Harbour lights

Hi Furry,

They go together very nicely. I got to play Harbor Lights alone with Henry on accordion and it would be nice to have a Fog Horn in the distant to start and end. Years ago I heard a recording doing just that.

Also I brought up Harbor Lights in BIAB and added, Red Sails In The Sunset to it. Thanks for that Idea...

Well done, G! Another winner

Remember I told you last year of the wedding between my Godfather's daughter and the ferry boy? Well, the old man passed away a couple of months ago. It would be great if you could find and produce something based on Colintraive and I could send it to his widow. If it helps, he was a hill-farmer with sheep. Many thanks in advance

Thanks very much, G

BTW, linking on from here, you could attempt the old Roger Whittaker standard 'The Last Farewell'. In case you've forgotten, the lyrics are as follows:

"There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

refrain:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
(repeat)

I heard there's a wicked war a blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death; it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell

refrain:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
(repeat)

Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell

refrain:
For you are beautiful
And I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
(repeat)
"

I know its not Gaelic or an instrumental but I think your accordion could work wonders on this lament

Graham,
Two songs I enjoy, and were at one time, my Mom's favorites. I'll play this for her the next time I'm over her way, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

Good work!

Gary


I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Two of my favorite standards played by my favorite accordionist.

What’s not to love about this?

SUPER mix Graham

Very nice Graham,
How's chances of getting a copy of the audio.
I'd like to add some harmonica riffs to it.
Thanks,
Walt

Hi Graham,
Excellent as usual - again two great tunes. A quick funny story - many years ago, in a record store $2.99 bargin bin, I found a cassette tape of "The Platters - Live". (It contained both of the songs that you did.) When I took it home and played it, the "producers" had taken studio tracks of The Platters and just inserted applause tracks between each song to simulate a live recording.

Yeah Sam, and the applause started & finished very abruptly, as if someone was pressing the play /stop button on a casette player.


Cheers,
Keith
