New Scottish CD - Must think of a title :-)

Had a great two hour session in the studio yesterday :-) Recorded The Song O' the Clyde, Will Ye Go Lassie Go (WIld Mountain Thyme), Sam the Skull (The Glasgow Cat) and Jeely Pieces (The Skyscraper Wean) bringing the total to 16 tracks recorded for the new Scottish CD - straight recordings I might add - just need to add some harmonies to certain tracks and then we will be at the Mastering stage :-)

Busking by Bannockburn :-)

I was in Stirling last Monday busking and a girl asked me if I knew any Joni Mitchell :-) I sang "Woodstock" a Capella for her and she bought my CD then came to hear my gig at the Tartan Arms, Bannockburn, that night :-) I think I must have done OK lol ;-)

Thanks to Frilly for a lovely afternoon at Dunoon Community Radio today :-) I was delighted to sing a selection of eight songs live - some old, some new and it has to be said some very, very blue :-( ;-)

Frilly also played a few tracks from my CDs :-)

I really hope all your listeners enjoyed the show I certainly did :-)

Thanks to Frilly for tea, scones and muffins and also a lovely walk in the Argyllshire countryside not to mention letting me witter on about my music ;-)
