While you are adding tunes to the list for possible lessons by Kevin, Could you add “Tom Morrisons “? It’s what he plays with Beare Island Reel in the Portland album?

I shared this with Kevin and he said “A while back alright – probably 40 yrs or more!”

Hi, Andrea. I ran across that as well when I searched, but I think that’s a different tune…Thx for chiming in!

Hi, Sara & Armin. I’ll add these to the list for his next lesson…which might be later this year. He may choose to record one or more of them. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep up the great fiddling, Sara!!

Just realized I was thinking about the ending of The Long Acre Adv lesson, not Lafferty’s, Steve. I had to check out that video of Kevin singing. I’ll ask him if he remembers that session…

Not sure if this post is referring to the same ad or not:

This is a few years late, but in case you still have trouble, I am a left handed player but have a left handed fiddle. Even with the chin rest on the proper side, as mine was made, it just didn’t work. I now use a center mount, which is actually for right handed, but it works for me.

Fun thread.

Awesome, Pam. I’m sure you told him in person, but I’ll pass these comments on to Kevin.

Here is the reply, they either don’t know or not telling. Kind regards

Thank you for taking time to contact Johnnie Walker. Your feedback is important to us.

Unfortunately, at this time I do not have any data to provide to the public on the song request for Johnnie Walker Presents: STEP. RIGHT. UP ad. I do apologize for any inconvenience this…[Read more]

I listened to this again to better hear the background music and I think its multiple tunes mash up. Definitely some familiar melodic lines but not quite identifiable. Best R

I am curious now, sent Johnnie Walker a message, maybe they will respond.

I had the great good fortune of sitting in on a group lesson given by Kevin yesterday at Urbana, Il. I am an older (70) student and learning, but it comes slowly. His laid back manner and great sense of humor put me at ease so, not only did I enjoy just the opportunity to be there and watch him play, I also was able to take more away from the…[Read more]

HI Z,

I watched the YouTube Post but never did hear a tune as its a Johny Walker Ad. If you mean the background music
I could not identify it. Best Roland Forum Moderator

PS If you get a moment you might enjoy this clip of Kevin singing,

Thanks, Steve. I get a chuckle every time I hear him finish teaching the advanced melody for Lafferty’s…that guy is a bundle of fun!

Good news on Tuttle’s – it’s already recorded…I’ll bump it up his production list.
