    Got some stock to Elderly, after a previous shipment vanished into the postal ether, annoyingly.

    Or direct from myself, autographed if you like, through my website.

    If anyone is around Edinburgh this Saturday afternoon, I am playing a wee gig in the Ross Bandstand at Princes Street Gardens with singer George Duff and fiddler Gavin Pennycook http://www.musicscotland.com/cd/Gavi...-GCPCD003.html

    I will be playing a lot of mandolin and bouzouki at the gig, which is slanted towards the celebration of St Patrick. Come and say hello! 12-3-30

    Is that a 12 noon start (read that as a date first of all!)?

    Hi Kevin

    Sorry we can't be there - have a great time - weather forecast looks dry but cold - so dig out the thermals and the fingerless gloves!

    All the best

    Great to see they are keeping the best till last, Kevin. Will think about you from cold, sunny Argyll! maybe you could pre-heat the resonator and use it like one of those old-fashioned bed-warming pans?

    You managed to survive the experience, though, Kevin!

    We reckon that we should start a petition to move St Patrick's Day to July, however.

    That looks cold, even from the video! One of those really raw Edinburgh days which we of course never get over here in the west in sunny Argyll. You certainly had the children's feet going in the 2nd video. Great combined sound, guys!

    Well, I think this is only my first or second post here in the Cafe, so I don't know how much clout this endorsement will have. But I've grown quite fond of Highland Strands in the few weeks since I ordered it from Kevin. It's a fine collection of tunes - old standards, new compositions, and more than a few you just plain won't have heard before. More importantly, they're played beautifully, by a bunch of fantastic musicians.

    I've been very lucky recently, after a long dark spell in which I didn't even feel like playing or listening to anything at all, to have stumbled onto some really great music, from several different genres, made by people who not only play well but also clearly care deeply about what they're creating. This is one of those records.*

    Plus, it features two tunes by John MacColl, plus another named for him. Quod erat demonstrandum.

    * Yes, I still call 'em records. It was recorded, wasn't it?

    Thanks so much for those very kind remarks, Claygate. Its all the more heartwarming to know it helps when life gets rough, and, indeed the record was done during a tricky part of my own life, and I was overwhelmed by the support and help from the guys on the project. I'm thrilled you like it.

    All the best, Kevin

    Claygate -- if you like the Highland Strands CD, you should look into Kevin's three earlier CDs. You would certainly like those too!

    Might record this on a future album, a lovely tune.

    Not only a great tune, but think of the album cover you can get from your trip there! Wonderful advert for relaxed, professional playing, Kevin.

    Kincraigie once again - this time with a strumstick to enhance its Transatlantic character. This is such a successful tune even in Irish sessions (nobody can play the melody, but everyone is rushing to play accompaniment).

    the world is better off without bad ideas, good ideas are better off without the world
