thanks Vinnie, yeah I'm doing ok thanks. The music helps through tough times!

 The mike is a Shure WH20XLR. It's pretty good. Not as loud as an SM58 but I like not having to take a stand, and it's good to be able to move about more : -)

A1+ inspiring as usual. What is the mic?

'fingers'

Back for another listen :-) I am leaning towards #4 "One step forward two steps back" as my fav. Of coarse I like them all but it has a catchy melody to it that a person hums after the song ends.

thanks Oily, oh yes I like singing that song. The one before it "Musical Lives I don't think suits my voice really, but I don't want to keep just playing the same sort of thing. Hoping my voice will get better at those sorts of songs if I keep doing it?!

Be,

Love the third song, esp! Fits your vocal style reeelly nicely. Your playing is really progressing; the busking is helping it sound quite fluid and seamless. Very pro.

thanks John. Yes it's my last build, with the Cohiba box and the flatpup. A great all rounder. Just took that and the Bourbon yesterday. Kids like the Bourbon one, so it's a good talking point : -)

Well, a very nice bemuzic sampler.   What varied moods!!    You know, I think this is the best you've ever sounded.  I could surely sit and listen.   Is that one off your self built gutitars?  I am thinking it is.
