This song is pathetically sentimental but still feel drawn by it. The melody undoubtedly I imagine.🙂🙂🙂
John McGeady says
Great stuff as usual Jerry !. Would Dougies “Ready for storm” be on your never ending list ? :)
Jerry says
It is John. Six hundred and something.
Paul says
Been waiting to learn Caledonia from the time I first heard it,
John says
Thanks for doing a Dougie Maclean song and thanks to whoever requested it. A friend of mine pulled me to a performance he gave at a very small school auditorium about 20 or so years ago. I was pretty skeptical cause I was pretty sure he did’nt play on any of my zeppelin records or any other bands I knew. Well, the concert gave me a different perspective of music and guitar. It gave me a new perspective of loud when he closed the show with about 8 bagpipers!
Jerry says
That’s a fabulous story John. Thanks for sharing it.
Would love to have seen the 8 pipers!
