Description A medley of Richard Schletty's vocal for Minstrel Boy and my own "traditional" tune. I bang out the drums on my clav. I hope you enjoy this more traditional treatment of the song.

In response to Feter and others I lowered the "higher" of the two fife voices. The Minstrel melody and the "lower" of my two lines are left up where they were because they sound more flute and less fife (or piccolo the fife's modern descendent) an octave down. Let me know if you like this one better.

	smiling It's great to have so much attention and creativity lavished upon my barebones vox track. This is a better mix than the original -- an easier listen with the pipes pitched down. The timing is pretty much right on. Cool that. Simple and effective. The song rides a nice thread all the way through.

	Beautiful That is a great modern take on traditional esp. with the flute. It flows very well and is very easy listening. Great version.

	DWL said 496 days ago
	Yep, this works Suits the voice so well. Just needs a deep distorted guitar! ;-) Seriously, this is really well done. Beautiful clean mix and great drums. Cheers Dick

	LOvein it yes indeedy great sound this song is tight,well done.

	Henke said 493 days ago
	Yes, it would have been a bit strange if nobody had made this kind a version, I guess. Very nice! One question only: Was it out of the question to keep the (some) fife beneath the singing? I noticed myself being a bit surprised when it went away, but I suppose it is as it should be!? Thanks for sharing! /Henke

	Nice Drums! Doing a spare arrangement like this can really bring out the best of the instruments, if they're done well - and these sound great. The fifes are crisp while the drumming makes me want to go march drill around a parade square. This stuff really resonates in the bone, doesn't it? Love your work!

	I really enjoyed this authentic take! The counter fife melody works so well & gives the song an extra dimension! Well Done! Cheers, Alf

	timothy devine said 467 days ago

	lengold said 497 days ago
	It just goes on and on. Yet another fantastic version. Very authentic sounding and clever. Cheers Len

	peacepiano said 497 days ago
	Len Thanks for the support. Trying to get authentic sounds out of GarageBand is a fun challenge.

	peacepiano said 497 days ago
	Feter Thanks for coming back. Sounds like this is finally the right mix :)

	peacepiano said 497 days ago
	APB Thanks to you and Feter and Richard this is finally sounding like it should. A fun project all around.

	peacepiano said 496 days ago
	Richard I couldn't have put this one together without your vox and input. Glad you like the final product. So, what is it like being a singing sensation? ;)

	peacepiano said 496 days ago
	Diviner Thanks for listening. Your version of this is very cool too!

	peacepiano said 496 days ago
	Dick Are you offering? I think I can find a space for you somewhere ;) Thanks for stopping by!

	peacepiano said 496 days ago
	Faelin- Thanks for the kudos. I'm actually glad you and everyone else went for very creative approaches, Listening to all the different versions is a lot of fun.

	peacepiano said 495 days ago
	Bob Fifes forever! Thanks. Richard's vocal cuts to the heart of the old song.

	peacepiano said 495 days ago
	Skean Thanks for stepping back in time and listening in. I'm glad you enjoyed the arrangement.

	Mr DJ Thanks for taking the time to listen. I'm glad you liked the traditional setting. Looks like there is a second wave of entries I need to catch up on...

	peacepiano said 493 days ago
	Henke I could have kept the fife going. It would have taken two different versions to match the two verses well enough, plus the fife seemed to distract from the voice. My wife suggested a trumpet (or bugle) behind the voice would be better, but I do not have access to a good trumpet voice. Perhaps Bass2x could have played the melody on his horn along with the voice.

	peacepiano said 492 days ago
	Rik Marching along :) I'm not much of a many layers musician, most of the time. Glad you liked this one.

	peacepiano said 492 days ago
	Alf I agree that this is a good setting for the counter melody. I actually think this is better than the original song I used the fifes for. Richard's vocal gives better context for the fifes than the fifes on their own.

	peacepiano said 488 days ago
	BranDeMan Thanks for listening. And special mention goes to Chikoppi for putting the minstrel thing together!

	peacepiano said 486 days ago
	Smokey Thanks for stopping by. I'm making some progress with percussion. I'm always on the look out for hints though :)

	peacepiano said 467 days ago
	Tim I'm having fun trying to figure out drums. Maybe I will do some on my next tune. Thanks for listening in :)
