Very Nice &mdash 12/20/04 - 01:58:03 PM
Good performance and I like the micing on the strings.
Too often (IMHO) engineers avoid the sound of the fingers
sliding on the strings.

Thanks. The engineer on this one (me) didn't mind (within reason) the finger
squeaks.

another 'overlooked' performance &mdash 01/08/05 - 05:41:26 AM
This had a nice, early 2oth Century feel. Almost ragtime.
The difference is--the quality of your recording. Instead
of a scratchy 78, it is a smooth Bob Ancona match
Neumann recording. (I need to get a pair!)

This is another category that seems to be a stepchild of
this website. I entered a blues piece (Figure Out Love) and
it got exactly 2 votes, one comment, and very few hits at
all.

Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for listening and commenting. I could play this tune every day of my
life (and usually do) and never get bored with it.

Nice recording. Very good reproduction of acoustic sound.
By the way, that is a Mississippi John Hurt song - one of
the greats.
