Touches the heart. A nice memory for my dear old friend Eileen Gannon - James Wilson Young HS class of '69 - who just passed away this week. Thanks, the mood is right.

Belated condolences for your loss.

Listening to this while watching snow fall outside my office window. All I need to make the perfect tableau is a snifter of brandy and for all this work to go away.

Reminds me a lot of early Bill Ackerman.

My 1st thought as well. I believe it's spelled Keagy. But I'm probably wrong too.

I'll never tire of the sound of a well-played acoustic guitar.

Andrew is a Kiwi artist who is quite known (and has lived in) Canada and the UK. I love his gorgeous guitar, and I'm surprised he is not well known in the US. I did have the privilege of seeing him in person in a small café - I was pretty starstruck. He's just a guy. With amazing guitar talent.

This beautiful melody sent me away for a few minutes to a special, peaceful place that I hope to soon revisit.

one wonders why the Lord called back such a loser as you. Celts are definitely not native Americans. I for one feel badly about imposing clearamces on other folks that don'r deserve it

That's the more romantic and popular view of the Celts, based largely on where Celtic languages remain today. In fact, the Celtic tribes started in central Europe in Austria, and spread from there over most of Europe

I was just thinking is he going to California? and then Led Zeppelin kicks in. Bill must have had the same idea.

Wow this sounds so much like Bert Jansch - Avocet, which is a masterpiece.
