Gary,

No worries; I speak the Queen's English when required. I have many Brit friends, and worked for a British company before moving to Saudi 11 years ago. Glad you enjoyed my take on Townes. Feel free to check out my other vids, for something's completely different. Album #2 will be out March-ish.

Nice one Ron.

I just spent the day out in the freezing cold, gardening on an estate in the bog garden.

Just made myself a cuppa and rolling a fag (remember.. I'm british, so that aint as gay is it might sound to you!)

and THIS track is just the thing after a hard days grind.

Cheers

Gary

Harrison,

Thanks, man. Still working up to playing the Rat Rod. Too much going on here, with baseball and the LL Travel Team.
