"Danny Boy" - Instrumental synth-bagpipe cover, by Yours Truly

Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 3/17/16 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"; Traditional

[Slings and Arrows]

Here's a little something that I whipped up for St. Patrick's Day. Serve with corned beef and cabbage.

I record all my music under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. This to keep music industry goons from popping ASCAP in me.

Unfortunately, I can’t get on YouTube.

I used to be subscribed to your channel, but when I got to
your page, I wasn’t subscribed to you. I tried to subscribe,

BUT......

Then I went through Google HELL trying to get them to see
that my email address is fullersstuff @ yahoo.com, and I most
certainly remembered my password, which I entered many times.

But Google said that no! The password does not match my email.

I bleeding hate Google.

For those of you who wish to sing along: I, and our three sons, sang that to my wife (Irish) on our 50th anniversary!!!...went over well....2 of the sons were former members of college glee clubs.

[TheOldLady]

And not only that, but I couldn’t even give you a thumbs up, nor add a comment.

This is all because my stinking FireFox decided to do a bunch of upgrades, and
many things just don’t work anymore.

I’m going to miss your instrumentals, my friend. So sorry.

[Slings and Arrows]

YT won’t even let you watch the video?

[Slings and Arrows]

Thank you very much!

If you want to get back on, you could create a new Gmail account and register with that.

[Slings and Arrows]

Poor DannyH...nah, he sucked.

[TheOldLady]

No, no. It let me watch and listen to the video, but I couldn’t
thumbs up nor could I subscribe, nor add a comment.

[Slings and Arrows]

Assuming that Google won’t let you recover your account, the easiest solution is to create a new account. Your call, of course.

It’s tough to play Danny Boy on pipes. The first part is in the scale. Second part no. It ends at the high A.

(pipes spoken here)

[Slings and Arrows]

I believe it. It’s tough to play the pipes, period. That’s why I simulate them - I have been blessed with a piper’s love of the instrument, but not with a piper’s hands.

BTW, couldn’t a Brian Boru bagpipe play the song as written?

[Organic Panic]

Probably. never played those. You can with the uillean. But neither are very common outside Ireland.

[OftheOhio]

I did your song justice tonight. 44 years now on this old Echo Harp. Though being a 12 string guitar player in the past, I love this old wind instrument. Thanks for your song, it made me want to play some music again.

[Slings and Arrows]

Thank you - that’s high praise indeed.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Nice!! Thank you for entertaining us.

[Slings and Arrows]

You’re very welcome.

[McGarrett]

If it’s an instrumental, that’s the Londonderry Air. It’s a nice song, but I had it sung to me way too many times as a kid.

[Slings and Arrows]

I didn’t know that - thanks!

[pax_et_bonum]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Will you please add me to your ping list?

[Slings and Arrows]

Thank you, and you’re added.
