I am in the process of trying to build a new youtube channel featuring only more recent and polished tunes, so as to have something to direct people to for potential gigs etc. I am also trying out some new recording equipment. So here is the result of the intersection of those two things!

This is a tune I've been playing for years now. One of my "go to" tunes when playing out. I think I;ve posted it on the back porch before in various states (including a very early 2005 posting) but this is the polished one for the new channel...

Good stuff, NS! How about a link to your channel page so we can subscribe?

Nice one Simon! love this song, loved your "old" version and this is really great. Looks like you've got a lot goin on there but it seems to be working

Really a nice job, Simon! Your time sounds really snappy and emphatic, and I like the clearer vocal tone with occasional gravel rather than continuous gravel. You sound like you mean it!
All best,
Johnm

Nice performance, Simon and great choice of material. I like those Julius Daniels pieces very much.

Thank you folks. I will add some more to the channel over the next few weeks (including, perhaps, a few obvious ones which will be of less interest to Weenies!)

T'ain't necessarily so!

Well PP, I was going to add some RJ for some lowest common denominator commercial appeal :-)

However, I got round to this tune first:

Very nice, Simon.

Another good string snapper!

Continuing to fill up the new channel... I'm conscious that this is another string snapper- but what the heck. Its fun to play...

Another good one. (I'm off to see Alvin live in November.)

Thank you for the prompt PP. I hadn't realised he was over in November. I will see what I can do about getting over to New Milton.

Its been a while but thw Wife is currently away so I'm trying to record some stuff. Here is Don't Give my Lard Away by Stump Johnson.

The guitar is home-made and the sound is just through the camera mic (the other mics are up for some testing).

Nice job on the tune, Simon, and great choice of a tune. Your guitar and the playing and singing sound good. That's a neat arrangement, too.
All best,
Johnm

Good stuff Simon.

Prof Scratchy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2019, 05:27:51 AM »

Sounding great, NS! That guitar is a keeper!
