Solo acoustic folk, with a bit of celtic music thrown in for good measure.
I do mostly acoustic folk music as well as some celtic music. I value well-crafted songs, with solid lyrics and a good melody line. Musicality - harmonies, interesting guitar work - draws me into a song, so I try to bring these qualities into my own music. You can find out more about me at .

Story behind the song
Many of us have known this song for years, but how many of us have really learned it? I first heard the original version of the words/tune by the Tannahill Weavers and Jean Redpath. I was asked to sing for a holiday benefit, and I decided to learn it for that. I've fallen in love with this version. For those of you who speak Scots, please forgive me if I've mangled your beautiful language. This is a one take, warts and all version of the song. I hope to be able to re-record it soon, but I wanted to get it up here. Happy New Year!
