That would be great! I live in Kentucky and wish I had the time and the means to fly to Seattle to see you perform... Let me know if you're ever anywhere near Kentucky. Come visit the Appalachian mountains of eastern KY, which is our primary mining region! Best wishes, Tony
Wally - Do you sing any other mining songs that you can post? I would love to hear you sing "Prince of Darkness", "Byker Hill", "The Image of God" (Battlefield Band), "Pound A Week Rise", "Bells of Rhymney", "Geordie Black", "School Days Over", "Farewell Johnny Miner" , and "Last of the Widows". You play and sing beautifully! Best wishes, Tony
Absolutely stunning. Well played and sung! I am curious as to how you tune your cittern. I play bouzouki (and also own an old Fylde Falstaff guitar by the way; Fyldes rock!) and I am considering getting one of Rogers citterns or something similar, which has a higher course for melodic lines.
Hi Zac, That is praise indeed coming from you. You are one of the best young artists I've heard in many years. The Cittern is tuned GDGDG as Roger reccomends for his instruments. For the price, his instruments are fantastic. The one I have is the signature model I used to have a standard as well but prefer the sweeter sound of the spruce top. When I get my new Docherty, I'll post some tunes.
Proper stuff - Champion that!
