You are very good in all respects. Professional grade, if you don't mind me saying so. I'd love to see a CD of your music available. Thank you for letting us hear your singing and playing, across the world via this great medium.

Excellent perfomance, great sound, always fancied a cittern, and you've just reminded me why, thanks.

That would be great! I live in Kentucky and wish I had the time and the means to fly to Seattle to see you perform... Let me know if you're ever anywhere near Kentucky. Come visit the Appalachian mountains of eastern KY, which is our primary mining region! Best wishes, Tony
Great job. love the open tuning sound.
Cheers

Wally - Do you sing any other mining songs that you can post? I would love to hear you sing "Prince of Darkness", "Byker Hill", "The Image of God" (Battlefield Band), "Pound A Week Rise", "Bells of Rhymney", "Geordie Black", "School Days Over", "Farewell Johnny Miner" , and "Last of the Widows". You play and sing beautifully! Best wishes, Tony

I do know and play a lot of mining songs, as I am from a mining family. I'll see if i can post a few more soon. Thanks for asking

Absolutely stunning. Well played and sung! I am curious as to how you tune your cittern. I play bouzouki (and also own an old Fylde Falstaff guitar by the way; Fyldes rock!) and I am considering getting one of Rogers citterns or something similar, which has a higher course for melodic lines.

Hi Zac, That is praise indeed coming from you. You are one of the best young artists I've heard in many years. The Cittern is tuned GDGDG as Roger reccomends for his instruments. For the price, his instruments are fantastic. The one I have is the signature model I used to have a standard as well but prefer the sweeter sound of the spruce top. When I get my new Docherty, I'll post some tunes.
Regards
Wally
