Having been a master of Irish fiddle spec. Sligo style for so many years me wonders is it possible for KB to keep improving? This relatively recent performance says..OYAY..his playing is only better than ever!🎉
" Lucy's fling" is a highland fling known as "Maggie Pickens". The song "Some say the devil's dead and buried in Killarney" comes from a Scottish strathspey known as "The braes of mars".
A beautiful hymn. Shame that the organ seems like a pathetic wheeze. They could've at least hired a decent digital sampled instrument given the V.IPs present!
He is incredible. I was fortunate enough to do sound for himself and Cal Scott. What a wonderful evening in the Potomac Highlands it was. My Irish DNA was re-awakened. I will always remember that night. What a blessing for us all. Just beautiful music. He did it all. If you get a chance to hear him, do it. He will not disappoint. He will whip the Devils rear end, back from out of the hole, the Devil crawled out of, for he is the bigger monster.
1 Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that thou art. Thou my best thought in the day and the night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light. 2 Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word; I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord. Thou my great Father, and I thy true son, thou in me dwelling and I with thee one. 3 Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight. Be thou my armour, and be thou my might, thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tow’r. Raise thou me heav’nward, O Pow’r of my pow’r. 4 Riches I heed not, nor vain empty praise; thou mine inheritance, now and always. Thou and thou only, the first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure thou art. 5 High King of heaven, when the battle is done grant heaven's joy to me, O bright heav’n’s Sun! Christ of my heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all. Blessings in Christ
At 44:10: Kevin introduces Evening Prayer Blues, which he thought was a Bill Monroe tune, and turned out to be a tune by the African-American, Black, harmonica genius DeFord Bailey, who opened up the very first broadcast of the Grand Old Opry with an amazing harmonica rendition of the old bluegrass standby Turkey In The Straw. So this piece of music attributed to DeFord Baily is a gorgeous call-and response/field holler spiritual. Kevin plays it wonderfully. The DeFord Bailey version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dHK0ii3MZr4.html
To be fair, the Monroe version he plays had been substantially reworked from Deford Bailey’s tune, enough to really make it its own piece. Monroe credited Bailey, but his version bares little resemblance to the original.
Just found this beautiful concert Kevin Burke. Some years ago you did a workshop with us at @Comhaltas Melbourne an Irish Culture Day in Collingwood. Thanks so Much. Mary Fitzmaurice McBride ( Mayo)

We, the Shalom United Church of Christ in New Haven, CT, USA, will be mouthing the words of this beautiful and melodius hymn, while listening and watching via Zoom, to this wonderful rendition on RU-vid. As the name of our church indicates, we are a congregation dedicated to peace and reconciliation. Peace, salaam, shalom, Charlie
@@lauraandrews1676 I don't think God cares how or when she's worshipped. We're just another part of the body of Christ. blessings to you in the new year.
Could someone post the lyrics for this version? The words are slightly different from the one I have learned over here in America. I especially like him being like armor to us is included.
