Hello Smiffy, Been enjoying listening to your playing - especially Campbell's Farewell. . .nice pace and build up. Yeh, I never learned the dots either - my sister could look at a piece of music and immediately hum the tune - in the right key, without an instrument!! - now I get hassled by people(pipers mainly!) coz nothing is written down - perhaps you and I should take a squint at the tutorials on ezfolk! . .Best Wishes. . .Valley Arc

I have just uploaded a new video of our band Big Hungry Joe, playing for dance and a little concert at an old time music and dance gathering in Denmark. September 2008.

I want to thank you for your comment, I've been over hear listening and digging it. Dw

Hi Sniffy! thanks for commenting! Nice stuff, yo! P.S: Did you now that New Zealand is EXACTLY on the other side of the world to Spain?

Thank you Sniffy- That's awfully nice- I look forward to listening to your songs. Ellie

Smiffy....hey man! Lovin' that Brownsville tune! You really nailed that sucker with some blues! ;-) Great rhythm and wicked singin' mate! Well done...I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the the Police Dog Blues comments! Eric's doin' the pickin'; and I'm doing the singin'. Boooooo Hooooooo! ;-) (It's another mistreated mama blues story!) Take care mate.

Hi Smiffy, you sound good too ! :) I like Lonnie Donegan. Anyone who says he loves the Beatles, like me, should like Lonnie Donegan. And I wish I could play the uke like you !

Smiffy, you are the best! I really dig that you get the vibe I put out there with my original music. Thanks so much for taking the time to listen, and for the lovely review.

Smiffy, Long lost John is one of my favorite tunes that Lonnie Donegan does.....well done....well done... Todd www.ukuleleevangelist.blogspot.com

Heard "Down and Out" on the radio and loved it! :-)

Stopped by and listened to 'Crow Black Chicken' tonight. Nice job! Rosie

Smiffy, thanks for your support on my video attempt at "Bill Bailey"...please put your version up...so I can have something to strive for how it should be played. Verne

Been browsing your music... Again. Love it. You are a star in my universe. But... I don't see "Fiddler's Green (joke). Nice work. Also nice to find another fan of Koerner Ray. (Sugar Babe)

SMiffy, I really enjoyed reading your reviews and instantly called the Uelk half to let him know. there are two things great about song writing. One is getting a huge kick out of writing something that Im proud of and the second is hearing that someone else enjoys it. I asked that everyone who downloads our music pay the fee of letting us know who they are and what they think. After almost 90 downloads you are the first to do so. It means a lot. Thanks again

Hey Smiffy, Thanks for our first review. It means a lot. Plus it lead me to check you out which is just another plus. Add us to your fan list. Scott May of UnM

Smiffy, I just noticed some comments you made on 14 Feb that had gone unoticed...just happened to see them on the control panel section. The fact that you and your wife and grandchildren listen and approved of my ditties,is really rewarding to me. That you all enjoy them makes me proud enuf to carry on...I am glad I found ezFolk that enabled me to make your acquaintence and have a new friend. I too am a solid fan of all the different instruments and songs that you do...it amazes me; I should have played when younger; but to busy making a living I guess. Thanks for all those remarks. Verne

Smiffy, you put smile on my face! Great tracks. Anyone who likes Jake Thackery is a friend of mine. Your pics are interesting too, must remember to try out having a curry before snorkelling.....take care of those beautiful instruments and we look forward with anticipation as to what you'll record next! Best Regards TJ

Yo Smiffy! I wonder if Ricard Thompson knew the story of your buddy!! Uncanny eh? I have a mate called Ken Nicol - He's currently the guitar wizard in Steeleye Span - Spooky 2!! Just been reminding meself of Good Ol' Adge Cutler with your version of 'Twice Daily' - That texas back!! Ooo! Aarrrr!!!

Smiffy!!! I made it!! Thanks for the point in the direction! I just thought my replies would be relayed to you on your site - What a pillock I am!! Love the stories and I'll visit often now I know where you 'live' - Just off to listen to some of your music now Awwrrabest

Thank you for your kind words, Smiffy. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed my tunes. You have a great catalog of tunes that I'm working my way through happily. If you have garageband, perhaps I could send you the file for that dulcimer jam! Peace, badmule
