It's okay, but then I'm biased. A friend and I played it for another friend's wedding back in 1977. Two guitars and two voices. I have a cassette recording, but I've never taken the time to put it on a CD. Not perfect. Not even beautiful. But more heartfelt than any professional recording I've ever heard.


I agree to a point. Ever since the first bagpipe recording in the early '70s everyone considers that to be the standard. That version was good, but it's so overused now as to be truly annoying.

You can disagree but musical tastes are subjective, without reason. If we all liked the same thing, the world would soon run out of chocolate ice cream.
