Thank you Joan. Tell your friends to come as well. The evening starts at 6PM with a chowder supper and then we'll be giving a full concert in the church from 7-8pm. The concert is no charge although a free-will offering would be gladly accepted. Slainte', Jordan
Thank you very much Avis. Richmond and I are extremely excited to be appearing for the second year in a row at the Rhode Island Scottish Festival. The festival is close to home and gives us a chance to see good friends like you from a minimum of 3 bordering states. Be sure and stop by our tent to visit and we'll watch for you as well.
Re my last---maybe Tom Rush's "Barbrie Allen" was it. THAT song at least ends with the wonderful auld "rose and briar" image. The Douglas Tragedy modifies that somewhat! Worth a look.
You guys were great yesterday (4 April) at the Highland Light Tartan Day Festival! I mentioned to Jordan that "Dumbarton's Drums" is the regimental air for La Regiment Douglas(s)---purported to be the oldest active regiment in Europe. This is cited on the Clan Douglas of North American site. As I said, it's propbably a dubious claim. The "Douglas Tragedy" is a great poem and I heard once that it had been put to music----p'raps something along the auld standard of elopement (Guthrie's "Gypsy Davy" and/or Tom Rush's great lament (was it "Darcy Yarrow" or some such?). In any case both the latter and the Douglas lament end with the scene of "make my bed long and narrow/Sir William died for me today/I'll die for him tomorrow".
Jordon&Rich-wonderful. Thank you for your performance at the Sprague Mansion. Songs were great but the best thing about the show was how you gentlemen were reacting. You sing because it is something you love and it shows on your faces. Enjoyed every minute of it and hope to see you at Charlie's Party! Thank you for the pleasure of your company and your show at the Mansion
Carol gave me your site at Bridge. Enjoyed hearing your tunes ...some very familiar (even 'tho I'm Irish-Am.)! Have fun on the journey of your musical career. Music is such a joy in life. If you get a chance check out our daughter's site, www.amycorreia.com., and go to tours and myspace. You might like her too. P.
That Danny Boy is a killer. Excellent job on such a beautiful song, nice arrangement. Excellent audience banter,too! I have to say I really enjoyed your performance last night at the Sprague Mansion.
Dear Jordan - Love the songs. Fergus Dugall, who lived in 1362 would have been proud to find that his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson was carrying the torch of Scottish heritage. Dugall eventually became MacDougalls who became MacDowell and about the time they arrived in Ireland to then become McDowell. Your great grandfather Charles McDowell followed that line. Glad to say that for sure YOU HAVE SCOTTISH BLOOD IN YOUR VEINS. I may have gotten carried away with the greats! Mom
