Dont often read these blogs, but I had a look at Emilys the other day and thought I would check yours out tonight, must say there is some mighty playing going on there especially the windows one, havent heard either of these tunes and never heard of the bloke you mention, got to say though I think your playing is top notch, no doubt about it.

🤔... Stringy's post didn't show up until I posted.  

Know we've had this happen before (where a post is supposed to start a new page & doesn't).

That is neat. I liked that.

I think it sounds much harder that Britches Full of Stitches.

@ABitRusty -

LIKE IT!

Great groove, your playing gets smoother/lighter every time!  ...clippin' along (faster), too!

Another new one for me - enjoyed listening! 🤗

Thanks,

Thats some fine playing again there, you should put these in the share a tune area, seriously.

I think most people on here will miss them in the blog which is a real shame.

@ABitRusty  Both tunes (I missed Maurice O Keefe's back in Feb) are great!  Guitar works well in place of the jaw harp.  The set blends real well--nice variations, doing single guitar string (jaw harp), solo, and then reg guitar.   

Characterize people by their actions and you will never be fooled by their words.

Thanks gor taking a peek elcbk, stringy, sharonc!

@SharonC - The group..The Fiddle Case does some great arranging on their tunes.   Like them alot.  wish i could play that way.  I had a synth version of that harp they used.  made it up in presonus but listened a few times and juat over dubbed over it with guitar.  it was qorse sounding that juat me plucking that atring 😆.  the synth is still in the background a little bit.  i normally think tunes can sound good slow or fast, but these two i think need to be faster than what im doing... see the fiddle cases version or the battlefield band has a version of primrose lassies that i like. thanks for listening.

@ABitRusty  that was cool! nice photos too. Thanks. I can imagine them played faster, but it sounds very good at this speed too. Sort of relaxing.
