   About Kim Wyrd Guy
I've been wrestling with guitars since I was 10, when I used to record my efforts on an old portable tape recorder so that I could then harmonise with myself...a year later I discovered the joy of reverb in the stairwell of our old block of flats in Jo'burg. It's only taken a brief hiatus of 20-something years for me to pick my guitar back up and marry the two when I was given my multitrack. Although it's not sophisticated enough to boost the bass or twiddle the treble, it does allow me to harmonise with myself, add a bit of reverb and send it to the PC to convert to MP3... so a slightly more 'hi-tech' version of the tape recorder and singing in that stairwell!

Finding like-minded singing sisters involved converting the Wednesday Soup Sessions into the Cocky Magpies, which fledged to form Elowen in August '06 - you can find us at: http://www.myspace.com/elowenfolk

I've also joined forces with the Amber Folk Mill this year - watch this space: The Amber Folk Mill

I've been known to sing up at the Earl of Chatham pub, Lostwithiel at the weekly come-all-ye 'folk jam'. There I try out my solo material - some of which is here: for the purposes of copyright these songs are all my own arrangements.

***************************************

While I'm here, cheers to my brother David, for the Langlaagte Stoep Sessions when I was 12, where he introduced me to Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Hendrix and The Beatles....(not literally, of course, how mad would that have been?)

I thoroughly enjoyed flying round just now on your new Broom of the Wotsit, very nice. What, broom means fog? Well that's my whole comment ruined, then :)

Hello there Kim!
Well it's been an incredibly busy week so far. I've been helping put up an agricultural shed which is a new experience for me.
Not the best of weather for such an activity either.
If the rain doesn't get you, the midges do!
Hope you are experiencing a bit of sunshine.

Love the loveliness of A Maiden Sat Weeping. You know that I'm mad for a bit of recorder.

I love your new song. I was moved when the flutes came in to console her and give her a hanky.

Might sound a little weired to you as well..but I think we will get to know each other better or meet some day:-)
I like you.

You've done it again. "A Maiden Sat Weeping" is beautiful. I keep finding more colors in the palette of your voice. How can you have so many? I'm glad you do.

Hiya,
Twasn't a bad weekend. Tash off to the Ardeche with school and a very quiet house all of a sudden!! Any time you're up this way let me know - would be splendid to hook up. Likewise if I'm coming closer to your neck of the woods, I'll most certainly let you know. Are you going to Trowbridge??

Hope you're well and enjoying some summer sunshine that we're being bathed in at the moment. We've asked Incana to be friends (if you're involved it has to be good).
Lovely sounds as always on your player - Take care little one - Mark and Carolyn xx
