Sometimes, the people at the sing along ask for one more song.

And I used to ask them what they wanted to hear. But they might call out a title I did not KNOW.

So, I wrote a song called "ONE MORE SONG", so as to satisfy their request to hear "One More Song"!

Sort of Irish sounding, to my NON-Irish ears.

The immense home of the MacDermott Roe family was Turlough O'Carolan's favorite place. It's where he returned after traveling as a blind Irish harpist and bard to pass his final days in 1738. Henry was the son of these patrons and a friend to O'Carolan, but he failed to live his life completely honorable and almost lost the blessings of his mother. However, all became well again and O'Carolan composed many of his songs in honor of the MacDermott Roe's. You can hear this story in the three settings -- first a happy life with the MacDermott Roes, then the shame of Henry's foibles in whom he married and how he squandered the family wealth, and at last the happy ending of forgiving and enjoying life. Of course, life isn't summarized so simply, but it helps to use one's imagination.

I'm trying out new techniques to improve the quality of my recordings. I hope that you'll enjoy

jazz blues in G

All instruments and vocals are me. Banjo, mandolin and guitar.

Straight outta the Scruggs book. Sort of.
