Here's a link to a YouTube video clip my son and I made. This is a bit of an experiment and it turned out to be a bit of fun to do.

WHITE COCKADE is the song - I found the traditional lyrics years ago in a book called, 1000 Years of Irish Poetry. It had been translated from the Irish in the late 1700's. I know that others have put the same lyric to music, too - they beat me to it, a few hundred years ago ... but I was having fun with the meter and the melody.

I put the clip up on Myspace and my website, for promo purposes - but I hope it has some music merit as well; so I am letting my Mudcat friends know about it too.

I did show a couple of y'all the early version of this vid. The one above is the finished version (such as it is).

One of my (many) favorite songs that you do, Jed. Is it OK if I link this in my blog?

Superb clip, and it is a wonderful demonstration of Jed's remarkable style of playing a guitar. And the music he sets this old poem to is very unique.

I have worn out my copy of 1000 Years of Irish Poetry. It is nice to see it back in print.

All the best,

Mick
