Now Westlin Winds - Burns

Музыка

Burns wrote this in his early teens, Describing the happy times he had after bringing in the harvest and enjoying the autumn weather.
Written in 1783, the first version I heard was by the great Dick Gaughan. I particularly love singing this song after the Edinburgh fringe festival.
Enjoy.

    Superbly played Ciaran, this is as good as the original by Dick Gaughan, very well played.

    Well performed Ciaran. No doubt by now someone will have told you that Burns was 24, when he wrote it.

    @@ciaran_mcghee_music No problem with that but I have read the definitive date in his early papers (I had access to those in many years ago when they were kept in the cottage museum). At least being general about it means that you don't have to remember a load of dates so that is not a bad idea.

    Joe Storrie I am in a tuning called DADGAD, outside all of the flashy stuff I'm playing basically 4 chords and only hinting at others. Head over to my Facebook and drop my page a like. Il be happy to do a step by step guide to the first verse.

    Here is my attempt at the intro and a few bars into the verse. Sadly I'm stumped at sussing out the rest of the chords. u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ1CW8XZ3cfDUhR4NALUgANUUwFClp1CumgV
