hi Mariner. Bad news, no drugs at all. I try.

I gather that he is Nigel's father? His work has a great sound. He uses vibrato a little. He holds the instrument vertical and allows to not look down after awhile. His right hand positioning is perfect. I do not know who invented that gurdy shape. He's playing in G, not C, with a low octave melody stg.

Bubajim - Thanks for the compliments! Actually I'm not Nigels father (do I look that old?) - in fact I'm not related to Nigel and Chris Eaton at all. The shape of the instrument was designed by it's maker: Wolfgang Weichselbaumer from Vienna

Oh my. Ok. No no. The effect I am dealing with here is percieved delayed aging, due to mass media. In my mind, Nigel's age 20 or less. He is not, now that I am jarred into more realistic thinking, but that can be the effect of the older photos. I look at Beatles videos as if this were 30 years ago. :( fogive me.
