30 Day Song Challenge - Day 27

Today calls for A song that you wish you could play. Though there are many songs I wish I could play, I think this is top of the list. I know I will never be able to play it, and I just love the way it sounds. It is Canadee-i-o by Nic Jones, a folk song from Labrador.



Luckily for me, there is a slightly more achievable version - and it is on octave mandolin! This is from Jon Boden's folk song a day project, and the guy playing is Dan Plews

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 26

Day 26 is A song that you can play on an instrument. Well, it isn't really a song, it's a dance tune, and it is my absolute favourite thing to play on the cello.

This version is performed by Mischa Maisky who, it has to be said, has some fantastic hair.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 25

I'm awful, I know. Let's get on with day 25 - A song that makes you laugh. Many songs make me laugh, for many reasons - they could be comedy songs, or they could be so bad that they are just hilarious! I've gone for the first one that popped into my head.
