A slow thoughtful melodic piece played on my Huber. Not my best rendering and I recorded this in one take.

This was the result of a quick-and-dirty recording session with my talented guitar playing nephew Jeremy (Jez) Quayle one weekend. (Have a search on Youtube for some of Jez's fantastic R&R recordings.) We used a single cheap PC mic and recorded on a laptop using Audacity. The three tunes in the medley are Ballad of Jed Clampett, Bill Cheatham and Bully of the Town.

(Have a search on Youtube for some of Jez's fantastic R&R recordings.) We used a single cheap PC mic and recorded on a laptop using Audacity. This is Jez playing guitar ukulele and me playing banjo ukulele. That's Jez singing. I don't know where the song came from, but we both heard a version sung and played by Peter Sellers. I think George Harrison sang and played it too.

Written by the blind Irish harpist, Turlough O'Carolan (1670 - 1738), this piece was his attempt to combine some classical forms into his more traditionally Irish music. Also called "Mrs Power", it is said that Turlough, very much a ladies' man, composed this to win her affections against a rival who was an Italian classical composer.

This piece is by Alison Brown and she plays it exquisitely on her Fairweather CD. I believe that she has made tab available for this now, but I learnt it before then. I got Steve Garner to transcribe the piece onto tab for me and then I put it onto TablEdit. Hans Holzherr then reviewed the fingering and I made further changes in order to make it playable. It is a lovely lullaby which starts in the key of F and finished in Bb, with some fascinating chord changes in between. Its a bit of a finger-buster and I can only just manage it now as the pinky on my left hand is becoming increasingly banana shaped due to osteo-arthritis. I play this on my Deering DeLuxe which I set up myself. I shaved the rim to loosen the tone ring and Mike Smith made me a wonderful Kat-Eyz bridge to my specification. I also fitted a 5 Star frosted head and a Price straightline tailpiece which I set more or less at its highest position.
