That's a great sound. It's persuaded me I must get around to making something with diatonic fretting. Still I don't count on sounding as good as you do - you really seem to get the most out of a very simple instrument.

Nice with a very eastern feel to it

I am with Bob Young.  Nice, happy, smiley song and sound, but not so clear on the 5/4.

Les...tangential is what this is all about...more tangentiality is good.

Thanks guys for all your kind comments and interest.  It really makes it all worthwhile.  Don't get me wrong, I love the blues and all the more traditional CBG stuff.  I guess I've gone off at a bit of a tangent here but I'm loving it.
