My aim on this channel is to share my love of folk music. My posts include original as well as traditional songs and covers of my favourite singer song-writers, such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Eric Bogle.

I have been singing folk songs for about 60 years, and play guitar (badly) and fiddle (even more badly).

I have produced 5 CDs:
Axis of Evil and other True Stories
Laws of Chance
Gospel Ship
Pigs Might Fly and other Politically Incorrect Ballads
Who Needs Reality? (with Lew Dite and Ukulele Katie)

I have also collaborated with Lew Dite on a CD of American folk songs simply called "Songs".

I hope you enjoy my channel. All comments are appreciated, including constructive criticism.

Thank you to all those who have subscribed and/or commented.
