Listening to these old recordings reminds me of where I have been; and have shown that I have made progress! I&#8217;m not sure my fingers are as good as they were in 2005, though. I think one of the biggest differences between the two sets of recordings is control of the instrument, which I think takes time to master. &#8211; Peace out, Patrick McLaurin<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times; line-height: normal;\"><a title=\"Amazing Grace 1990\u2019s\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/amazinggrace1990s.mp3\">Amazing Grace 1990\u2019s<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times; line-height: normal;\"><a title=\"Amazing Grace 2005\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/amazinggrace2005.mp3\">Amazing Grace 2005<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times; line-height: normal;\"><a title=\"Scotland the Brave 1990\u2019s\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/scotlandthebrave1990s.mp3\">Scotland the Brave 1990\u2019s<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times; line-height: normal;\"><a title=\"Scotland the Brave 2005\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/scotlandthebrave2005.mp3\">Scotland the Brave 2005<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times; line-height: normal;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; line-height: 16px;\"><a title=\"Paddy\u2019s Leather Breeches 1990\u2019s\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/paddysleatherbreeches1990s.mp3\">Paddy\u2019s Leather Breeches 1990\u2019s<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times; line-height: normal;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia; line-height: 16px;\"><a title=\"Paddy\u2019s Leather Breeches 2005\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/paddysleatherbreeches2005.mp3\">Paddy\u2019s Leather Breeches 2005<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 1em\/1.3em Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; padding: 0.5em;\">Edit &#8211; The 1999 recordings were in a recording studio.
