Cool!!!!

I checked your video out - loved it! I love getting your messages and videos on youtube. Thanks for the inspiration!

That sound is largely the sound of the 10 string cittern (the mexican made version is called a quatro) that Andrew Anderson is playing using alot of creative capo placement to get an open sound plus melody. He's a great player on a great instrument. Very full sound.

I hope you are still having sessions there. I noticed that there were a couple of harps. Good for you to encourage and accept harps. Top Irish Harp player is Marta Cook if anyone wants skype lessons.

Thanks - hopefully should be meeting up with the girl I did the duet with in real life next week! so maybe a "real" duet video will follow!

Great fiddling. One of my all time favorite tunes played beautifully, Matt.

Great playing! Before the violin came there was a Planxty kind of sound going lol.
