Thanks John.  I do sing along sometimes but I don't record it.  I tend to fumble the notes if I'm playing something like this, or mess up the lyrics.  Maybe one day ;-)

Yes on what Dave said.  BIg sound.  Good playing.  Man, you sound Appalachian. 

Clarky, there have been some guys here who thought they could not sing and worked up the nerve to try and some did really well.  Bug for one.  The keys to singing early on are finding the right key for your voice and going for it.  A great place to start is Hank Williams 'Mind Your Own Business",  A fun song that you can kind of shout and or sing.  Give it a shot.
