Harmonizin': Puirt For What Ails Ya

In the midst of an empty and ambiguous phase. Kind of spare.

But nevermind.

Here's a little more Julie Fowlis, singing up a bit of puirt a beul, an old Scots Gaelic type of song. The term's translated as "mouth music." It is some stuff that is good.


She plays a mean whistle too.

That should bring a smile to anyone's face, for a little while at least.

Harmonizin': Waulk like a Scotswoman

In a dank and tired mood, so gonna get my Scots on:




And this don't fit the mood, and I posted another version a while back, but it's kinda become my favorite Burns song, I think, for a mildly obvious reason, so...


And to go briefly with the beat that is up:


And then back down where I'm at again:


And to close out, and to give the gents their moment, a link to Dougie MacLean singing the "Scythe Song". First heard this playing on the radio one summer evening four, five years back. Back before my old man got sick. I always think of him when I hear this song, and I often think of this song when he's on my mind.

I dunno. To better days and a'that.
