Graham, You can`t beat a Scottish ballad for a lovely melody tinged with sadness. I`m not familiar with this one ( please post the lyrics), but think you must have stayed close to tradition with your simple arrangement.Joanne`s vocals are as pure as ever. Nice moment when your accordion solo comes in with a slightly "dark" tone! Most enjoyable.

I love old Scottish folk songs, my dad used to play music like this all the time.
Joanne's voice is absolutely perfect for this!
Good job on the track and the accordion.
Nice collaboration, enjoyed the listen!

Thanks for this one. Can imagine hearing my Scottish grandmother singing this.
Great job Joanne. You do a great job of all the many projects you tackle. Your voice is beautiful in this style. The backing and accordion sounds spot on. Good one Furry. Cheers.

Hello, Graham
Very beautiful song! Joanne's vocal is perfect for this one. Wonderful collaboration! Your accordion is very nice as usual. I love old Scottish folk songs, but I'm not familiar with this one. Very good song! I feel it is surely one of the origin of modern folk. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi Graham and Joanne I've only ever know this as an Instrumental and to hear it as a vocal is wonderful. The accordion background to Joanne's singing and harmony really makes this super special. Superb effort by you and Joanne and the BIAB backing is First Class. Thanks for Posting. Happy Christmas Ian

Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, thanks for the kind comments. As far as I'm aware the melody is an old Scottish pipe tune. The lyrics are a bit new however

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
