1001 Songs in 1001 Days?
Wel, that was my target. I didn't quite make the average of one per day, but I did upload 1001 videos.
Now I can slow down, but I will continue to put up the occasional song.
My aim here is to share my love of folk music. My posts include original as well as traditional songs and covers of my favourite singer song-writers, such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Eric Bogle.
I have been singing folk songs for over 45 years, and play guitar (badly) and fiddle (even more badly).
I have produced 4 CDs:
Axis of Evil and other True Stories
Laws of Chance
Gospel Ship
Pigs Might Fly and other Politically Incorrect Ballads
I hope you enjoy my songs. All comments are appreciated, including constructive criticism. However, I may delete threats, and language that I consider unsuitable for any young people watching this channel.
Thank you to all those who have subscribed and/or commented.

My parents brought my brother and I up on The Spinners and The Houghton Weavers (UK Lancshire Folk groups) and Chevaliers de la table Ronde was one of my favourite songs of The Spinners.
I have to congratulate you on a fantastic rendition of this song and thank you for finally translating it from French (to my eternal shame my French is saddly lacking).
Keep up the good work my friend.
