"Danny Boy"

traditional. Irish.

been a bit doddery these past few days so it gave me a chance to put together a simple instrumental arrangement of this timeless Irish song, just in time for St. Paddie's Day.

I recorded it in eugenie's studio and played it on a vintage (1950's) harmony baritone ukulele strung in re-entrant tuning. Cheers everyone and thanks for watching.

Great stuff, my good man. I like that high tuning on such a large instrument. And that melody is quite simply one of the most beautiful ever made.

I agree with Doc - maybe it's the Irish in me, but this tune never fails to give me goose bumps. Really beautifully played, Jon, just lovely - thoroughly enjoyed it.....

Nice Job, Jon. That Harmony really sings. Lovely...

It's St. Paddy's Day in Tasmania, but not yet in the U.S., so we have extra time to listen to this. Thanks.

I adore this song, but I can't even read through the lyrics (2nd verse in particular) without getting misty-eyed, let alone sing it.

Very nice rendition.

I performed a duet of this on classical guitar two years ago (its on my youtube channel) and have a sweet spot for the melody. But I like yours better.

I see you got a baritone after all, nice. I'm itching to get one myself,

Thanks for sharing.

Sweetly played.

How're you finding baritone?

Hi Jon, loved the tune. How do you like the baritone? I really enjoy playing mine. I have mine tuned in the traditional bari tuning.

Cheers
