Ghoolie Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Steve, when I was in Bellfast in 79, I met heard Paul Brady perform this wonderful song. As I await you tracks for Port D Amsterdam............I would love it if you added this to your repertoire. I plan on coming to the islands this summer. I would love to bring along a small squeezer and accompany you once again. Either way, I think you could give anice twist to this magnificent ballad.

The Gipper Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Is it just coincidental that this song is an ode to "Arthur McBride" and the fact that the original owner of the Cleveland Browns was Arthur "Mickey" McBride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I looked it up in Google Play music and the first time I've got the Bob Dylan version. Yikes. Then I heard the Paul Brady. Fine song sir. Open G tuning. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also called Vestapool tuning D,G,D,G.B.D Great for slide as well. SPEAKING of tunings, and inside Ghoolie info. Have you guitar players ever tried what is called Nashville tuning? Replace your G string with a 10 or 11 gauge string, and tune up up an octave to G. It give a 12 string effect, but also some other cool sounds. Great for studio work. Record one guiater in standard tuning, another in Nasvhille tuning. Pan one hard left, the other hard right. I promise you, your guitar tracks will be more lush than you can imagine.

Arthur McBride hit me the very first time I heard it. Obviously, it hit Dylan, too. The story, the lyrics, the chord movement, and wow, Paul's voice. he does trills and hammer ons with his voice. I am glad you liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, plus old mjp saying when I quit looking at the passing parade "you can officially throw dirt on me". OH we've been married for going on 37 years now and happily "cooking" together.
