Metal Man

How lovely to have these tracks from what is now a fairly distant past. Great musicianship.

Kirk, This is Greg Zenitsky. You likely won't remember me but I was a student at UMKC in the early 80's and I made a couple of recordings of Scartaglen as part of a project in Tom Mardie's audio recording classes. I believe one of the tunes was Metal Man. Is this cut from that tape by chance? I misplaced my tape copies years ago before having the opportunity to make digital copies. Regardless, I hope this message finds you well. Always enjoyed your music!

wonderful piece of music!

Very pretty melody!

Simply lovely. Will have to search for more Scartaglen.

Thanks for posting this. It's always nice to go diggin' through the ol' stax to stumble on lost forgotten gems. I think I recall you guys playing this live...very happy to be able to hear it again now.

...And back again to listen to this little piece of perfection. Just magnificently played.

Great guitars and chord sequences and licks.

this is soul music....longlistening

WOW!This is great!

A track after my own heart! w;-)

A lovely tune to make the morning coffee too

Wonderful tones . . . soothing

This is mighty fine.

...nice; classic 'freshness' here. :)

Sounds great, feels like a sunny day!

..fresh!

This brings a smile to my face. Nice work!

Is that the same Metal Man that Barry Dransfield did on Bowin' And Scrapin'? Maybe that's where I remember that tune from. I swear I don't remember a Scartaglen recording before Middle Path, but I do seem to recall you guys had one on Kicking Mule Records....

rich and beautiful, the playing is sweet, about 2:40 in what is that instrument? very soft but high,, very very well done

Holy shyte, I haven't heard that tune for years, not even sure I ever had that record. Pre-Middle Path? You should dig up Jezaig sometime, though I seem to recall that Roger played the guitar part...

You "played guitar on this track"...and how! Typically brilliant. Wonderful flavours and shades of awesome.

wow, I almost missed this ! great wide open guitar feel, cool tune

lovely tune

Fantastic! Talent beyond compair!

This really appeals to my Irish half. There's something about Irish folk music that brings a smile to one's face.

So nice!! And so well recorded!! Glad you found it and posted too.

Wow - excellent! Love it!

..Cool, dr.!!!! (AND Thanks again fr lisnin!!)

May not be much metal, but you are definately the man. This makes me happy without being manic.

also makes me think I should dust my mandolin off a bit more !!

very much enjoyed and down loaded....thanks . Jarvo

Really sweet tune, really sweetly played.

FN excellent! Get's my Irish up.....

nice melody, very well played

Not at all what I expected from the title, but wow what an amazing piece of music. Great music and excellent performance !!! LOVE IT !!!!!!!

I love this!!! Excellent!

Faved at the first note. Jeez, Kirk, this "way back" stuff is fantastic!!!

really nice job.

12 string? Beautiful

Wonderful tune, superbly played!

I'm usually not a fan of a big celtic sound, but this is just amazing. Beautiful and happy. This really moves me.

~In ancient ages we drank (a bit, of course) and danced by candlelight~

Oh Kirk, it's lovely. I shall enjoy this one as much as the others. Thank you!

Very nice and lovely..! Very very very!
