"I have heard the tune played on hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar and Celtic harp but cannot recall having heard a version played on the fiddle." Arkie says about the tune 'Southwind'.

The first time I ever heard this gorgeous tune was when Eugene O'Donnell played it on the violin. He was with Mick Moloney at the time some years back when they were the Guest Artists at the Alaska Folk Festival.

I understand that Eugene O' has since retired home to Ireland.
