I am thinking about the DVD I ordered myself the other day and wondering if I am going to get what I expect. I have no idea if I got my order right. I have been wanting the “Transatlantic Sessions 3” folk music recording from Scotland, but it has been so difficult to figure it out. Is it a CD, a DVD, and which volume do I want? The Album Covers all look the same. I think I want Volume 2, but what I ordered has only one DVD. I ordered it at Amazon and it lists nothing about the tracks that are on it.
I have had so much difficulty, as I could not find a DVD recording that would play on American DVD players. Finally this week, I found one labeled “NTSC.” However, it is also labeled Video-DVD. If “Video-DVD” means that new-fangled DVD that has video on one side and CD on the other, that will be a problem for my Bose Theater system, as it does not recognize those, and goes bezerk. I guess I will play it on my laptop first to see what it is exactly.
Would not most music afficianadoes say that “Transatlantic Sessions 3
You can see a wonderful performance here in this video of “Saint Anne’s Reel,” at the bottom of the page, and know why I am wanting this album: Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas.
This will be my Christmas present from Captain Cliff even though he does not know it. Last year he gave me a DVD of Pavarotti singing at the Cathedral in Montreal. It was a difficult album of music to find, so I had to do it myself, as Captain Cliff would not have had the patience.
I already ordered the wrong CD of Irish music this week. I wanted the album with “Grace” on it, and the search engine took me to “Amazing Grace,” and I got confused. There were no audio clips, so how could I be sure? Perhaps I will like the wrong album that I ordered. Anyway, I found that the Irish Tenor album I want is out of production and has to be purchased “used,” and for triple bucks.
Here is my collection of YouTube Videos of: Transatlantic Sessions 3. See … you could spend the rest of your life right hear at this post listening to my music, if you were crazy too.

i am about to order the” transatlantic sessions 3″ dvd from the UK. does this play on an apple imac here in the us?please e-mail asap?Mark
Sounds like you are as confused about that CD/DVD as am I. When mine arrives from the UK I will tell you if it plays on a PC, but I don’t have an iMac, so cannot help there. However, I always thought that iMacs played the same CDs and DVDs as PCs. I have never been aware when buying CDs/DVDs that some were for PCs and some for iMacs. But then, I have never owned anything Apple except for my iPod.
Mark – The Transatlantic Sessions 3 DVD that I ordered above, arrived yesterday and lo and behold, there were two DVDs, not one. I played one on my PC computer’s DVD player today with no trouble. If your Apple iMac has a DVD player, there should be no problem.
I then played one of the DVDs in my Bose DVD player and it played fine. That was interesting because the package that contained it was labeled as a PAL DVD. I thought I was ordering NTSC for the U.S. as that was what the Amazon ad stated. But as I said, everything about this music album is confusing.
That said, the fact that it actually played means I can tell you that it is one gorgeous and fabulous creation.
