Along with your "Mrs. Edwards", this piece captures the spirit the Scots and Irish tradition soul so well. You have added your unique flavour - this is superb! Please post more of your wonderful music.

@wfbrown1234 Thanks Bill for the nice comments on both vids. I really have to give some credit [and blame!!!] to those Irish-Scot roots.
Cheers, Jeff

Excellent work, really enjoyed it. Are you a fan of ELP's version of Hoedown? Was also curious if you play much electric.

Thanks, I wasn't familiar with ELP's version till I came across it here on youtube. Really something the way this tune coming from rural Kentucky (William H Stepp) ends up at a rock concert via Aaron Copland. As far as the Electric, I started out on acoustic listening to Fahey and Kottke and later grabbed the electric and did the rock band, country band and jazz band thing and then wound up full circle back on acoustic - seems a lot of us solo acoustic players took this route.
