You did well. We will have to talk more about the prospect of re-cording some fresh (or old) material. Thanks. ps glad the tambourine is in one piece pps shame on you for using a drum machine - can't you sample an empty guitar case being kicked - instead?

pps shame on you for using a drum machine – can’t you sample an empty guitar case being kicked – instead?

Obviously that period had a big impact on both of our music. I still play a lot of these songs too. I've still got the tambourine, but use a drum machine a bit more now. I'd be pleased to catch up with you sometime and maybe lay down a few tracks again. I never got over the qualty we achieved on my cassette recorder all these years ago. Cheers for now.

Are you aware of just how much of an influence these days had on me?. I loved the repertoire and the sound we made from a wide mix of material. Do you still have the recording on mini-disc? I still have the box of all our publicity photos taken in the park near where I lived and about 1 zillion FRAGILE stickers - two of which are still attached to my EKO and 5 string banjo. Brian - thank you - I will contact you when I get back to the UK - and get back in the hut!

I have one too, as well as a 6 string version (which you will probably remember. My main guitars now are a 6 string Taylor and a 12 string Tanglewood. I still play a little, but not in public! I have a hut in my garden kitted out as a studio, but have not used it as much as I planned, but there is still time to make better use of it yet. Love the new website and look forward to hearing more of your recordings. Cheers for now. Brian Hi George, Yes I remember the EKO 12 string very well.
