this is nice. is there words?

[dobrodaddy]

Thanks holdempok!  No lyrics, just melody and chords.  I don't have a strong vox, so I write or arrange a lot of instrumentals for guitar - or dobro or lap steel...  Geo

[Bluesberry]

I really love your style Geo.  This is damn fine, is this standard tuning, or some other?

[maxit]

I love your touch on guitar, remember me of the good good john renbourn style. what's that noise I hear in the background?

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi and a belated welcome aboard. Fabulous touch to your playing and such a warm sound. Love it..........Willie

[dobrodaddy]

Thanks so much!  Glad you're enjoying the music!  Geo

Bluesberry: Glad you like my style!  Thanks.  Standard tuning in A.  Not a traditional celtic key, but then....

Maxit:  Thank you for the very high compliment.  Renbourn is a hero of mine.  The noise in the background....  uhhh, that's me - moaning, breathing, grunting - pushing the notes into the air....  bad habit, showed up when I started playing more serious acoustic blues and didn't go away.  Visceral and involuntary... 

Willie:  Thanks for the warm welcome.  Glad you like my touch.  45 years of fingers on the strings.....

....and you are absolutely right, James, this is wonderful music and great guitar playing indeed.

Bravo Geo, we share the love for this kind of music, and the respect for the great Renbourn.
