An early attempt at playing Stones, from the Ultima series of RPGs, on a 10-string kantele. It's not a great recording, with plenty of problems like inconsistent plucking volume and tempo, and other noise, but it's representative of my current skill, so I left those in. Still have plenty of work to go...

Stones v1

Auld Lang Syne

It seems some of my family knows this song better as "Lord of the Dance," but I only know it by the original title and lyrics. I bracket the title with "Something Like" because this is the tune as it came to my mind, pulled out of my memory. Looking to the Internet, it's not quite the same as the original tune, but I like it like this.

[Something Like] Simple Gifts

I'm late for New Years, but I only started developing this arrangement a few days before January 1. At that point I was still very new to playing chords on the kantele and had to really work on changing chords. It wasn't until recently that I felt confident about actually recording anything, so here it is!
