Thx, Drjohnrock. The squirrel eats with difficulty, as we say in Germany. Most of it is "recent discoveries", but looking for new (nuts) sounds for some years now has helped to extend the stock of understanding.

Tam-Lin Reel/Glasgow Reel is associated with Davey Arthur who used to play with the Fureys. It is probably based around a traditional melody as the style of flipping between strings is reminiscent of many fiddle tunes.
TAM LIN is a 16th century ballad from the Scottish Borders, it tells the story of Jenny, a girl who defies social expectations to turn a bad situation good, pursue an unconventional love, and then perform a daring rescue of her beloved from the fairy world.

The only vinyl I bought abroad and carried home. Love the sound of the Shehnai which Ustad Bismillah Khan introduced to Indian classical music. It doesn`t get any better than with this two legends of the Indian classic.

Bhairav raga is an ancient raga that is considered to be extremely old and originated many centuries ago. According to Indian classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj, Bhairav is a "morning raga, and solemn peacefulness is its ideal mood."

Vilayat Khan & Bismillah Khan - Bhairavee Thumree (India/Bangladesh)

Another nice version.

Spoiler for Ustad Bismillah Khan - Raag Bhairav:
