I've been a fan of yours for a while but haven't been checking out the channel for a bit. This time of year I tend to do that and coincidentally today I was just in the mine (really!) and decided to give a look. I often feel a pained irony about my love for this kind of music and the closeness I feel since I've been around some mines for several years now - contrasted with the fact that I am here as a science researcher in an unusually safe and clean mine.
I just listenend to most of your songs and I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed listening to your voice. It's so special and different from all these average voices you hear on the radio nowadays. Keep it up. And I'd really love to see more videos of you...have you ever tried to cover "Piano Man"? I think that song and your voice...that would be a perfect match.
This song is pretty poignant right now with 25 killed in Virginia and 153 trapped in China, jut this week. Keep a good thought for all of their families and those still trapped.
WOW. You are amazing. i've been watching a number of your videos and they are all amazing!! Very impressive, and I agree with the other posts. Why are you not famous?!?!
This is brilliant! Fantastic performance! This is such a great song, espcially near and dear to all Canadian hearts. Really appreciat your Bodhran lessons. Been a great help in learning to play it. Thanks! Oh and yes...why are you not famous??? When is your CD comin' out??? You really are a great musician and singer.
for fuck sake why ain't you famous????what an incredible voice/guitar/performance/song!!all the charts artists should be made to watch this vid right here and learn what talent is all about!can't rate this highly enough!pure class my friend!
Great Version dude, excuse me for copying your guitar chords, big fan of this song. First brought to my attention was the david Alexander version, excellent song, love it!
I love metal (Lamb Of God, Slipknot, Metallica,all that good stuff), but I've gotta say something here. You sound like you put a lot of efforst, emtion and feeling into your work and it shines right through, I don't know what it is but I almost wanna cry when I hear it. Good fucking cover man.
Great rendition of the tune! Sadly, Jim Stevens, who sang it in our version, passed away a couple of years ago. Thanks for evoking a good memory of him.
i was gonna call you a dumbass because i thought this was rush's song and you covered it on an acoustic, but i was wrong its not rush lol, and it sounds beautiful, you have a great voice, and playing 2 instruments at one is no easy task, 5 stars man
Very nice. The best version is by the woman who wrote it; Rita McNeil, accompanied by the Cape Breton miners band "Men of The Deeps". The recording companies pretty much destroyed all of our musicians from Cape Breton, Rita isn't even really around anymore.

Anyway, you ARE one of the great ones!
