John Renbourn - Summer Song
This track is from John Renbourn – The Guitar Of John Renbourn, a varied selection of compositions for solo and accompanied guitar. In 1976, John Renbourn was commissioned to record an album of instrumentals for use as what is called library music in the U.K. These songs weren't intended for commercial release but are astonishingly lovely, nonetheless. With Tony Roberts on flute and Jacqui McShee on vocals.

Country music
Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in Southern United States in the 1920s. It takes its roots from the southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas.
The term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier term hillbilly music; it came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century. The term country music is used today to describe many styles and sub genres. The origins of country music are the folk music of mostly white, working-class Americans, who blended popular songs, Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes, traditional ballads, and cowboy songs, along with African American blues and various musical traditions from European immigrant communities. In 2009 country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute in the United States.

Robert Burns
Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.

tin whistle high D the looping Clovelly Devon Cornwall
Es geht mir bei meinem whistlen nicht um Perfektion. Es geht mir um die pure Lebensfreude. ????
Darum: dem Ruf des Herzens zu folgen. Und bei mir ist das eben das tin whistle spielen.
Schlechte Bewertungen tun mir sicherlich weh, doch ich mache das erst 3 Jahre, ich bin schon so weit gekommen, ich habe mich niemals von meinem Weg abbringen lassen, egal wie die Meinungen im außen sind, ich übe weiter, täglich meist 10 bis 15 Minuten, ich bleibe dran, es ist mir wichtig. Natürlich kommt da und dort ein schräger Ton dabei raus. Die Vögel draußen in der Natur singen auch ganz ohne Bewertung. Hier bin ich gerade in England in der Grafschaft Devon in Clovelly. Ich begrüße mit meinem Spiel, das Leben , den Moment und den Tag. Ich bin dankbar dafür, dass ich lebe, sehen, hören, lachen , singen und auch whistlen kann. Und dass ich hier sein darf.
Ich will euch mit meinen Videos Mut machen, denn alles ist möglich. Doch dazu gehört der Glaube an sich selbst und das niemals aufgeben. Ich selbst lerne auch aus gerade diesen Videos, die Melodie, die Fingerstellungen, die Hingabe, das narrische Vergnügen . ????
Ich wünsche euch ganz viel Spaß beim üben und ihr werdet sehen, es geht von Tag zu Tag immer besser.❤Folgt einfach euerem inneren Feuer.
Insane Asylum
Thank you for watching my video.

Bangour Village Hospital was a psychiatric hospital located west of Dechmont in West Lothian, Scotland. It was officially opened in October 1906 (under the name Edinburgh District Asylum), over two years after the first patients were admitted in June 1904. In 1918 Bangour General Hospital was created in the grounds, but the hospital began winding down in 1989 with services being transferred to the newly built St. John's Hospital in the Howden area of Livingston. The final ward at Bangour eventually closed in 2004.
The hospital was modelled on the example of the Alt-Scherbitz asylum of the 1870s, at Schkeuditz, Germany, and represents one of the first village-plan psychiatric hospitals in Scotland.[1][2] The Bangour institution comprised individual villas which would house approximately 30 patients each. The village also incorporated its own railway connection, a farm, bakery, workshops, recreation hall, school, shop, library and, latterly, a multi-denominational church.
The hospital was requisitioned by the War Office during both wars when it became the Edinburgh War Hospital and The Scottish Emergency Medical Hospital, reverting to a psychiatric hospital between the wars and after 1945. During the Second World War the patients were evacuated to Hartwoodhill Hospital.[3]:33
The number of patients rose to over 3,000 in 1918. Temporary marquees and prefabricated huts were erected to cope with the demand for bed space, for both patients and staff. This led to the creation of Bangour General Hospital in the surrounding grounds, which was to become noted in many medical fields, in particular its burns and plastic surgery unit which was established in 1940.[2] It also had a 1st class Maternity Unit serving the whole of the county.
In 1989, St John's Hospital opened in nearby Livingston, and services were transferred from Bangour General Hospital, which closed in the early 1990s.[4] The Village Hospital also started to wind down after the opening of St Johns, with the last remaining ward closing in 2004.
The hospital site comprises numerous buildings and structures, including 13 category A listed buildings. An architectural competition held in 1898 was won by Hippolyte Blanc. The villas are domestic in character, while the nurse's home is more institutional. The villas were set within landscaped grounds, and are built in a 17th-century Scottish Renaissance style, with numerous individual variations. At the centre of the site is an Edwardian Baroque hall, and a Romanesque style church, which was designed by H. O. Tarbolton and built 1924-1930.
When the hospital was built, road access was poor, and considerable volumes of coal and general stores were required for the running of the facility. A private railway line was built, branching from the former Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway line at Uphall. It was authorised by the Edinburgh and District Lunacy Board Act of 30 July 1900, and it was opened to passengers on 19 June 1905. It may have been used before that date in connection with construction of the hospital.
The North British Railway operated the line, but the Bangour station was considered private. However, there was an intermediate station at Dechmont, which was open to the public generally, and was much used by staff at the hospital who lived at Dechmont.
During World War I the road network was improved, and the railway became unnecessary; it was closed on 1 August 1921, although passenger services probably ceased on 4 May 1921.
The closed hospital was used as a filming location for the 2005 film The Jacket, starring Keira Knightley and Adrien Brody.[7]
During September 2009, the hospital grounds were used as the site for Exercise Green Gate, a counter-terrorist exercise run by the Scottish Government to test de-contamination procedures in the event of a nuclear, chemical or biological incident. This involved 250 volunteer casualties and 400 emergency staff.
The site is now also popular with Urban Explorers people who enjoy exploring old and abandoned buildings, taking pictures to document their existence before they disappear due to either severe decay or demolition. The local health board however are not keen and as of 2005 have security patrolling the grounds to stop people entering the now dangerous and unstable buildings.
On 1 October 2015 Planning Permission for a residential and mixed use redevelopment of the former hospital site is being sought. The application notes some of the listed buildings at the site may be proposed for full demolition in a subsequent application. This may include villas 7,8,9 and 21, with other buildings potentially proposed for partial demolition. - Buildings At Risk.
