Jay Ungar's Ashokan farewell by Foundring ( Kylan K. )

The sun is sinking low in the hills above Ashokan. The pines and the willows know soon we will part. There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken, And a love that will always remain in my heart.

My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter, The magic of moving as one, And a time we'll remember long even after The moonlight and music and dancing are done.

Will we climb the hills once more? Will we walk the woods together? Will I feel you holding me close once again? Will every song we've sung stay with us forever? Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping Over the lake the stars shine. Ah they wonder if you and I will be keeping The moonlight and music, or leave them behind.

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping The magic of moving as one They wonder if you and I will be keeping The moonlight and music or part when they're done

The Young Person’s Guide to Ben Johnston

Microfest MF 23 I’m guessing that my title has its origins in the Benjamin Britten piece, “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra”. That phrasing has been used by the likes of Phill Niblock and King Crimson to title retrospective compilation discs. While the disc under consideration here is not, strictly speaking, a retrospective it is a fine representation of the chamber music of the late…

For Billy.

So, hi.

This one is for the RebelYank crowd. :)

I mean, this was kind of the obvious choice for two Civil War guys (but now I have to also give the obligatory "this is not an actual 19th century song, this was written by Jay Ungar in the 1980s" disclaimer).

I was like, "man, this would sound totally awesome and thematically appropriate as a duet!" so I arranged it for one fiddle and one classical violin... completely forgetting that Mark O'Connor and Pinchas Zukerman already arranged a violin duet version of "Ashokan Farewell" years ago. /facepalm

(It's actually Day 195 since I started playing again. I messed up my day count somewhere during the last round of missed practice sessions and I'm not really supposed to be counting anymore but I keep doing it for some reason.)

[carriehobbs]

I swear to god somewhere out there once upon a time I read a fic where nat played the violin for the detective and she played 2 songs one of which was the lover’s waltz by jay ungar. I do not remember the name of the second song nor do I remember the name of the fic to go look up the song’s name. If anyone knows what fic im talking about and this isn’t some kind of fever dream of mine please help me out

A song I've always enjoyed playing

[carryonlikewedidbefore]

Now on the 3rd listen of Ramblin' On and I'm a lot more awake now.

Track 1 - Right Kind of Trouble. I do like the build at the end of Right Kind of Trouble. That is really fun.

Track 2 - Forever Ain't Long. oooooh I love the lyric 'Take me forever. Forever Ain't long" that's poetry.

Track 3 - Every Light. Such a great rhythm. Its a good road trip song with the way it rolls. Even the lyrics back it up as a road trip song. The dual images of being on the road, but not wanting to leave.

Track 4 - Ain't No Tellin'. Jensen's voice in this is amazing. And the bordering on soul sections with the choir in the back, fantastic.

Track 5 - You Made Me Blue. Such old school country. A perfect song to do the Texas Two-Step to. Lyrics-wise it has one of my favourite country music tropes, the I'm over you - good riddance song.

Track 6 - Keep on Ramblin'. How much Sturgill Simpson has Jensen been listening to? His vocal inflections are almost identical in this. Another great road trip song. The wandering cowboy kinda deal. And the guitar solo is very Willie Nelson/Django Reinhardt, Trigger would sound amazing playing it.

Track 7 - Sweet Escape. This is fun and considering the darker imagery in the lyrics with howlin at the moon, blocking out the negative voices etc its a lot more upbeat and cheery than you'd expect. Steve's voice is great and the fiddle has a sweet sound.

Track 8 - Return to Me. There is something warm about the sound in this song. The kind of track you can imagine sitting in front of a fire while listening to it, which considering the sad lyrics is an acomplishment. It feels like it finishes too suddenly though as if there should be another verse or a bridge.

Track 9 - Restless Man. Well this feels autobiographical Jensen. Considering the jetting around to different jobs he's been doing in the past couple of years and him talking about that keeping him happy, this feels more personal than the other two "being on the road" songs on the album.

Track 10 - Velvet Sky. Oh the fiddle at the start of this. Its so reminiscent of Jay Ungar and his traditional mountain music. This is probably the strongest final track of all the albums.

Over all, its a different feel from the first 2 albums since its a hell of a lot more country, but similar enough that it will weave together well if you play them shuffled. It just feels like a progression of their sound rather than a whole new beast

I think Every Light is starting to stand out at the best song on the album. Keep on Ramblin' would make an excellent single.
