The following notes are the
sources from which I first got the tunes included here as best as I can recall.
There were other sources as well that may have had some influence on what is
recorded here. The recordings are not professionally polished. I did some
editing to the tune ends and to eliminate some dead space that creeped in from
time to time. There may be some mistakes. The purpose was to document my tunes
while IÕm still able to play the button accordion. This CD was recorded using a
Beltuna Sara 3 in C#D, MMM, with 2 sets of Artigianna reeds and one set of
Binci reeds.
1. Ho Ro My Nut Brown Maiden is a
unique version off Jim McHardyÕs record, BL 2472. Lunan Bay is the first tune
written by Jimmy Shand was recorded on Beltona BL2356, solo, and Parlphone F-3449 with his band.
2. First heard Westering Home
sung by Fr. Sydney MacEwan on Phillips EP NBE 11057. I double timed CominÕ
ThroÕ the Rye at the end.
3. 100 Pipers is a well know tune
which I also double timed at the end.
4. Flow GentlyÉ and Sally Gardens
I learned from a Paddy Noonan album.
5. Jock MacKay & A Gordon For
Me are from Jimmy Shand, F-3463.
6. The Jock OÕHazeldean medley is
from one of Jimmy ShandÕs waltz books. Shand recorded it on EP GEP 8735.
7. The Kelvingrove medley is also
from one of Jimmy ShandÕs waltz books. Some of it was recorded by Jimmy on
BL2451.
8. My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose
is from Kenneth McKellar, EP DFE 6274. My BonnieÉ is a common tune IÕve known
forever.
9. Jelly Well Spread is from a
Jim McHardy 78. BL 2417.
10. The Ash Gave & Jenny
Jones is from Jimmy ShandÕs first Beltona record, BL 2229. I added Leezie
Lindsay to the medley.
11. The Let Me Call You
Sweetheart medley is from my memory of Frank MurphyÕs playing.
12. Old American songs.
13. Ye Banks & BraesÉ is from
the singing of Fr. Sydney MacEwan, Columbia DC 486. Oft in the Stilly Night is
from Jimmy Finucane and John McCormackÕs recording. I probably didnÕt learn Ned
of the Hill until I heard Al OÕDonnell singing it.
14. The Northern Lights was sung
in the early years of the Harps Club. I first heard the whole song from Robert
Wilson accompanied by Jimmy ShandÕs Band on HMV 7EG8374.
15. I Belong to Glasgow chorus
was also sung locally. I first heard the whole song when I got Will FyffeÕs
1929 recording reissued on a 45, Columbia SEG 7746. I think Liverpool Lou was
popular sometime in the Ô70s.
16. Three more tunes from the
Jimmy Shand waltz books.
17. Black Velvet Band from Johnny
KellyÕs recording, PYE 7N17322. 21 Years from Dermot HegartyÕs recording,
Release RL533.
18. Three more well known Irish
waltz tunes to finish up this CD.
