Flatpick Friday!!!!!
It's here, it's here!!!! FF is finally here!
This week I have a video for you. Since my wonderful daughters are here with me for the summer, I asked Jessica to shoot a little Flatpick video for me. She did a fine job, too.
If you have followed FF for a period of time, you know that "Red Haired Boy" is my all time favorite fiddle tune. I have it in my audioblog and have posted it several times for FF.
This time I decided to do a video version. Hope you all enjoy it, and have a wonderful holiday weekend!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

a good tune...
It's a grand ole tune. Good job! Thanks to your daughter for the video.
I think I've mentioned before -- around here the tune is set to "Little Beggerman". It can be played & sung pretty fast depending on who's doing it.
"I am a little beggerman, a beggin' I have been for three score or more in this little Isle of green
I'm known from the Liffey down to Segu, and I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu.
Of all the trades a-goin' sure beggin' is the best, ah, for when a man is weary he can sit down and rest.
He can beg for his dinner for he's nothing else to do, only cut around thje corner with his old rig-adoo. . . . "
An' there's several more verses but it ends with:
"I must be goin' to bed for it's gettin' late at night, and the fire's all raked and out goes the light.
Now you've heard the story of my old rig-a-doo, it's good-night and God be with you, said old Johnny Dhu."
The song is a favorite with many performers in this area and their fans.
Have a grand and glorious weekend and holiday. "May the Fourth Be With You!"
~~Blessings, prayers 'n cheers
@DonnaLou - wow what a comment - I enjoyed that almost as much as the video and the video was GREAT!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY
Wonderful collaboration with your daughter! You are both much appreciated today! Peace
Miss Jessica did an outstanding job, I just wish her father would have allowed her to get a face shot too. Sigh. My first boyfriend was a red-headed boy. : ) Great job, my friend.

Yes, it was excellent picking and excellent shooting.....'cept, hmmm, I like to watch your face as you play. :)
Guess it's just how I am.
Happy Flatpick Friday, R.

I like to watch your fingers as you play! Nice picking, Randy.
Nicely done, but like the others, a face shot would have been nice too ;) Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend.
Love it. Makes me want to take frolic in an early morning dewy field in my bare feet.
:)
Great pickin' Randy! Have a great 4th tomorrow, my friend!
@Ed_Kaz - I have a frolic planned for 6AM tomorrow. Be there. It's your turn to pick the daisies.
Où est votre tête, monsieur?
I love to watch your fingers, of course; you play beautifully... and this is definitely a favourite tune... but I miss your head! LOL
Respectfully,
Your Weirdest Fan
xoxoxoxo
You play it beautifully!!! A bit more Irish sounding than i'm used to - but it is an Irish tune after all.
well done yet again!
