- Whilst out walking Dug this afternoon I did two recordings of this beautiful waltz sitting at different parts of the river Conwy in Snowdonia National Park in north Wales, the first on a Syn high D, and the second on a Holifield high D. I've uploaded them together as one video. P.S. Around the 01:30 mark on the second video Dug notices my wife appearing down the path and runs to greet her, so perhaps I should've called this version "Ashokan Greeting" LOL!
Nicely done.
@@rogerclark9285 Thank you.
Of all versions played on you tube this is THE ONE, played by a master, beautiful and a grand dog!
Whenever I play the whistle near the dog he howls.
and a grand green meadow
Well played sir.
@@DrewsGuitarShop Thank you.
The was played at my wifes funeral by a dear friend who is a well known folk violinist. Your beautiful version on the tin whistle still bought tears to my eyes......
My condolences Sam. Many thanks for your kind comment and best wishes for 2024 my friend 💜
@sam may she rest in peace.
Memory eternal
This tune has been and "ear worm" for me all day. Beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Fabulous tune and played beautifully.@@fatheroblivion45
I love it.@@fatheroblivion45
This is lovely. Thankyou. Am very familiar with Conwy area so this was just right. For some reason this tune makes me think of Shetland though I've not heard it there. I think it's the wistfulness.
@@annegriffith450 Thank you for the comment Anne.
So beautifully played and I feel it pretty heavily right in my gut.

So wonderful, Sir, thank you so much! Absolutely magical and transporting, and I so love the stunning setting, and your dear, darling, beautiful doggie, standing by! Precious video!

Hello, I was stationed there for 2 and 1/2 years. Beautiful country. Beautiful people. How old are you? Let us talk.
@@dunexapa1016 I’ll be 63 this year. I am now living back in Scotland where I was born.
Beautiful
Sounding great, and what a lovely spot to play
I love this tune first time I heard it in the civil war documentary series.
Lovely sir. I like music at its barest elements now and then. Well done.
Beautifully played this melancholy tone. Handsome canine and a wife, you give a wave to all so wonderful Thankyouforyourmusic. .
Thank you for the lovely comment. Appreciated.
I appreciate this video and included your music into my new 2024 Playlist.
Nicely played Jim :) The Holifield has a certain sweetness about it !
I enjoyed this so much that I learned to play it this morning (which by tomorrow will be yesterday morning, of course). A pure delight. I borrowed your ornamentation...
I am pleased to hear that Randall. It’s a great tune. And made all the better by knowing you found it useful matey 👍🙂
This beautiful video made me start learning tin whistle. It's very different from a bass guitar which I usually play, but boy does it make pretty sounds. Thank you, you gave me something special.
This is so good to hear. Thank you for the comment. There are lots of great resources here on CZcams and online to learn about whistles and whistle playing and I wish you all the very best in your whistle journey.
So beautiful. Made my heart swell and my eyes well up.
Awesome (dog), oh yes, the whistling too ; )
Exquisite!! This is absolute perfection, the performance, the sound, the scenery and that beautiful collie :) ...lovely description too!
Really beautiful version there. Thanks!
Beautiful playing!

Greetings! Thank you for the comment 😊
Bravo!
I play the guitar...or well used to hah
But everytime I hear this...whether it's the viola and now the tin whistle? Just makes me want to go out and buy the instrument so I can play it myself
I love your attentive dog
If you look in the corner between my dog's haunches and the screen at 1:31 you'll see my wife waving at him as she was coming to me us. That's why he ran off! It had nothing to do with my playing! Honest! :D
If you look at my icon here, with my photo...You'll see my former dog as well....A female English Shepherd. My baby...I TOO am a whistle-flute player of 30 years...
This video has me 😭...as my dog would sit just like yours did...She was 14 years old. She loved
"The Kesh" the best and would chase her tail when I played it...or hump my leg...either one...🤣
Thank You! 😉
Dzięki ❤
Thank you.
Awesome
Woooow!!!!! 🥰✨🤍
Ah that was nice!
❤❤❤❤❤
Please, post the music as you played it. I learn by playing along with videos that I like especially. . . trying by ear, but tabs or sheet music encourage me. Thank you!
This is the music as I played it. I don't understand. Thanks for the comment though.
P.S. Here's the sheet music ; thesession.org/tunes/4997

Hope you and the dog are still doing well. Although I think you lost your audience at about 1:40! Lovely!
Yes. We’re both well. Thank you for asking 😊. My dog spotted my wife approaching in the distance and ran to meet her. Thanks for the comment
Nice job.
Beautiful recording. The pup loves it!
Thank you for the comment.
Dug is absolutely gorgeous! What breed is he?
He's a Welsh collie.
@@fatheroblivion45 Oh my goodness I love collies of all kinds!
@@metalgear6531 We got him aged 9 months as a rescue. He wasn't house trained or socialised. He was a lot of work but he's turned into a wonderful friendly and fun dog :)
