Thank you so much 😀

😂 Funniest comment ever! Thanks for your kind words. I'll pass them along to my daughter. (Plus I can't imagine another fictional character with whom I'd rather be compared.)

Thanks so much. I'm glad you like the tune and thanks for letting me know. By the way, have you heard the video of my daughter playing it? It's one of her favorite tunes, too.

I have, thanks for the reminder to revisit that version!

I learned the tune on concertina from Cormac Begley and then later wrote it down in my little Molkeskine music notebook. The picture in the video shows a bit of that page. I suppose I could take a moment and create a PDF of the tune if there was interest.

Even if you could send me a picture of your note book, that would be great. Such a lovely tune!

Thank you 😀

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Thanks for the kind words 🙏

Thank you, I will pass along your compliment. Hopefully there will be more to come soon when we have a calm moment to sit down and record again.

Mandolin was completely her idea and it has been a treat watching her learn to play it the last year or so.

Thank you for the support. Best wishes learning the tune. Cheers!

Thank you! You too!

Many thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for listening, so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you

Thanks so very much!

Thanks! It's always a treat playing music with my kids!

Doh just read the description, that's a b and g bender! Nuts!

Absolutely! Campilongo plays some amazing guitar! Interestingly, a late friend and former bandmate of mine introduced me to Jim's music (and even played drums for him once upon a time.)

Yeah, it definitely takes some getting used to manipulating both of those bender levers, but it's really fun trying to get those quasi-steel guitar sounds.

That's v cool about your friend...he isn't the guy in the anorak in the video of Caravan with Nels Cline is he? I thought you probably would know about Campolingo but also thought that if you fidnt you might enjoy his stuff

Thanks so much! She really is a great little musician when she puts her mind to learning something. It's definitely a joy to play music with my kids. Hopefully they keep the tradition going!

Thanks! 🙏

Thanks so much, glad you liked it! Hopefully will be the first of many with Penelope!

Thanks @johnb4871 I tried to get her to learn some easier tunes first, but she really wanted to work on that one as well as some of my other compositions. I'm sure we'll get around to recording some of them in the near future once we have a bit more time on our hands. Thanks for listening! Cheers!

@@colinbotts I look forward to hearing them. I’ve been following your YT for some time and learned “Crickets March over the Salt Box” from one of your videos for my band to play.

@@johnb4871 I love that tune! That was one I actually picked up on my first trip to Ireland. I flew over on spring break while studying guitar at USU to audition for the University of Limerick's masters program. Glad to hear you've passed it along to your bandmates!

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks so much for your kind words; I'll be sure to pass them along to Penelope! Cheers!

Thanks!

Thank you, it's a real treat to get to play music with my girls!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks!

Thanks so much, so glad you liked it. I'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Penelope! Cheers!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! When are the three of us going to jam?

Thanks so much! I'll pass along your compliments to her!

@@colinbotts Yeah man. She's got it going on. Kid Power ROCKS!

I'm truly honored that you would take the time to listen to this (and especially more than once!) All the best with your new octave mandolin! Cheers!

Thanks for listening, glad you liked it!

Thanks, glad you liked my little departure from my normal content!

Thanks so much! Cheers!

Thanks so much! It certainly has a bit of that Breton sound, but it was actually composed by Dominique Forges. Cheers!

Thanks! It's been a fun journey learning to play that crazy thing! Still a ways to go...

Thanks so much David! And thanks for the time and effort that went into creating such a fantastic bridge. I'd been waiting for a long time for the right drop-in bender bridge, and until this came along wasn't interested in anything else on the market. Keep up the great work! (and hopefully one day I can get my hands on one of your amazing lap steels!) Cheers!

Oh man, thanks, you couldn't have paid me a better compliment.

Thanks so much, glad you liked it. This really is a fantastic tune! So fun to play!

Thanks so much Richard!

Many thanks!

I agree, it's a gorgeous song. Thanks for listening! I'm glad you liked my humble version. Cheers!

Thanks so much! The sad thing is that as my girls get older and more fun to play music with, they are simultaneously getting too busy to play music with me!
