Tears

This is a fingerstyle version of the old Hot Club of Paris song - Tears, created by si16 and presented through ACIDplanet.com

You can hear the original here if you're interested - YouTube - Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli - Tears

si16,
That was great, I also had a listen to Dark Island. We need to hear more from you, very nice indeed.

Great stuff Simon! I love the celtic hammer-ons and frills - reminds me of Floyd Kramer and others on country keyboard playing.

I also listened to Dark Island - beautiful! Was that a low whistle or something else (it sounded 'wooden' in sound). Very lovely harmonies as well and fancy fingerwork on both instruments. Excellent. Auld Lang Syne at the end was a nice touch! Well done

That's terrific Simon - I didn't know that song. Well played with great feeling. I won't bother listening to the Django version - no point.
