First of all - it is my Dad's 100th Birthday today. I will be heading out shortly for a family get-together, and want to show him the video when I get there. I know that David Hansen did this song but cannot find it in my search so if you would like to move it, I'm OK with that. ( all I found were people thanking someone for posting it. ) I also apologize for the quality of the video - which I have determined is the low light affecting the video. Did you know our very own Scott Tichenor had a hand in Butch Baldassari recording this song? Played here on the Northfield A5 Special with Emory Lester as my accomplice. The roll-top desk was my father's, he gave it to me when he had to move to the Veteran's Centre where he resides. I hope you like the video !
Lovely Ginny! I can feel the tenderness and love you put into this. Big congrats to your Dad! And enjoy the time!
I wonder what I'll be like when I'm 100, but I am sure that being given a gift like that would keep me going 10 more.
Beautiful song played for a very special occasion! Well done!
That’s a beautiful birthday present for your father. You did it with love – that’s the main message!
Such a fine production in all its aspects, Ginny. You have done your dad proud and he must be delighted with your gift.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are just home from the 'party'. It was so much fun he fell asleep half way through. Fortunately I played the movie for him before he got tired so he was able to see and understand it.
Love the playing and the video, Ginny.
I really like this video and the sound you coax from your mandolin, Ginny! One question: what instrument does Emory Lester play? Must be some kind of keyboard.
CC - I'm never really sure what Emory does. We record in his studio until I get a good solid track and then I leave it with him. He's done decades of engineering and I leave it to him. Sometimes he does a bit of everything and sometimes it's just mandolin and guitar. You can usually hear his arpeggios and then he throws in some bass. We have a song in the works now where I think the muted banjo with slide will be used. (??) Also thank you, Sherry. When I was trying to find the thread to post this song I saw your comment to someone from years ago - but couldn't find the actual song.
Interesting, Ginny! I'll have to look for that comment!
beautiful Ginny

Just beautiful.
Really nicely played Ginny.
Thank you for your comments. The video part of A Place in the Heart came out a bit out of focus and John has been giving me advice on low-light situations with my camera. I have a plan to do three 'Heart' tuns and at some point put all three together. I've been working on the last one for a while now. I'm trying to find a video location that hopefully encompasses the tune.
I am so happy that I found this post of yours!! Coincidentally I have also been working on this one and ended up posting it today. It reminds me of my Mom and Grandma.
Really nicely done Jason with some nice ornamentation. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you.
A lovely version of a beautiful tune, Jason. Surprised that only you and Ginny have done versions so far; maybe the thread is not at an end yet!
That is a pretty tune, and well played on both mandolin and guitar Jason.
David H has a really nice version as well as Martin, Manfred Hacker - lots of players. I probably put this in the wrong spot as I often do.
Fine playing on both instruments, Jason. And a nice tune.
Well played on both instruments, Jason. Fine recording. I assume many of us try and play this lovely tune now and again.
Wow, great mandolin playing! Both skilful and tasteful. Soulful, some might say.
Lovely, fine playing Jason. Really nice interplay between the two instruments.
