Delightfully wrong...

One of the things I love to collect is odd covers of songs. The more strange the better. Thanks to gridlore, I have a new item in my collection:

A Bluegrass version of "Scotland The Brave"

A Saving Grace

[(Anonymous)]

Delightfully wrong, or just delightful? Before I heard it, my first reaction was Gah! But
then it started playing and a smile started creeping across my face. Then I noticed my
foot was taping. :)

Most bluegrass / country / country and western music makes me cringe and want to
rsitn. But that's mostly the vocals, and this is an instrumental. A Saving Grace? (There
may be a filk here.) [g]

One similarity with the original is that they both use what I call a martial instrument,
bagpipe in one case, banjo in the other. But then the fiddle made itself heard. Ahh.

A saving grace replaced the sound
That once from bladders blew.
The banjo's lost 'neath fiddle's sound
That's bowed so sweet and true.
