Hi Scott,
Lovely to meet you and see you play last saturday. I was impressed by your talents on the oud, lute and cittern. Anything more than 6 strings and I'm hopelessly lost : )
All the best,

Hi scott like the tunes - think on first impressions that I like paduane best followed by 3 ravens, I presume you have a huge back catalogue of recorded stuff - does myspace only allow you 4 tracks? Oh I might manage te 14th at Glo but if I can't I'll try and send paul down as we've got a fair bunch of your post here :)
