Oh I love these trad, timeless sounds! What phenomenal musicianship! Crazy energy - fantastic spirit! The atmosphere really comes across in this recording - and the applause at the end? That's me!!
Fabulous sounds, Sir FS!
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
I'll thank and type Paul MacDonald one more time. Maybe he'll google his name and have a bit better chance of landing here for his R&C's. I like this a lot, Kirk.

Hey, I even clapped at the end. Just couldn't help myself. Wonderful suite. The minor keyed opening had me smiling with a tear in my eye. Hugely enjoyed this. Glad you scrounged it up. Sounds good and feels good.
Background music for a fun father/daughter YouTube video editing collaboration/experiment (embedded here.) My daughter and I filmed and edited the movie, and I wrote the music after hearing some video-game music my daughter wanted me to emulate…
I can hear the influence of the Bulgarian Duda players in some of the keyboard melodies. Great stuff. Meant to get back and listen to the rest of your stuff for a while now- thanks for this
Earlier this year I was in a community choir, mostly senior citizens performing songs by bands like Soundgarden and Green Day. One of the songs, "Grateful," had a lyric that went 'In a city of strangers/I have a family of friends.' It was Halloween…
One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…
Enjoying your stuff Gary. Thanks for the comments as well. That was ebow on the "timekeeper" cut. I'll check out more of your stuff when I have a bit more time. Love the chorus on this BTW
uncle-nephew collaboration:
My nephew banged on the guitar, I found a few usable loops in there. I had him sing" the people in the city are runnin' 'cause the robots in the…
This song is done in a dropped F tuning. I won't bore you with the tuning itself, but the same tuning makes an appearance in Consequence, Painted Tense, 70 and others. My favorite part of the song is the verse after the solo. For some reason I…
the music is a gift to char. she is a generous friend. she is "charming". this is an idea from her. she spoke of the inner child. we all have an inner child. i wanted to write a lullaby. it is slow, gentle and soft. it attempts to describe wonder…

beautiful playing and overall sound, incredible arrangement!
such rich sounds. a pleasure to hear this.
Really liked that, I've had you on for the last hour or so, very pleasant
Some nice spacey fx on this, reverb and echo delicately used.
Wow, great, I've heard stuff like this before but it's usually by Irish folk, and it's really cool, love it.
very well done kirk

Spacey and spacious. You worked that delay to near exhaustion. Good for you. Much Enjoyed.
