The noise in the first part of the video was from the suction cup breaking loose that held the video camera. After that, everything seemed ok for the GoPro to record. Now you can see how shot to Hell I am these days.
The S-950 style that was used was a 6/8 Celtic March style tempo of 123, A and D variations, and I got lazy and played it single fingered. The right hand strings on the Yamaha, IMO, were ideally suited for this song, so I did a bit of an instrumental segment, nothing fancy, just something to add to the song. I only used the basic chords of the song and could have fancied it up a bit with some intermittent minors, but I've become lazy in my old age. I've always loved this song, but I have not had the opportunity to play it for nearly 20 years, so I had to download the lyrics in order to sing it. 20 years ago, those words were embedded solidly in my memory. Carol was right, the mind was the second thing to go.
