Most excellent! I've just been playing along with it, [Honer pro harp in the key of A] I play a little bit in case you didn't know, but not very well. In fact Karen has just complained.

One to download and practice to. Thanks!

[MarkOla]

Way to go DJ, thats the spirit.
You can download the original here so don't have me blowin in ya ear.

Thanks Kren.

[davajonah]

Ye-aaah! Just got back from a "hair of the dog" session at my local [Paddy's night left me a wee bit wasted] played Raven again and the world seems fine to me.

Really - top tune guys. Got to be one of my all time favourite downloads. Thank you.

Ravens are such cool animals too. I got to know some quite well when I lived in Wales [South Stack] They are indeed clever beasts and you are lucky to have some hanging around your house. A rarity in this country - certainly in the cities. The kings of the mountains and the cliffs, they are. Croak!

Thank you for calling this out Dave. It is indeed a fine piece of work. Mark. Nice playing. You should be proud, man. Fran I don't think I know you but hey, sounds good to me.

[MarkOla]

Such kind words DJ, nice to be on someone's iPod.

The ravens come around about once a month or so. Don't no why. Maybe it's a vacation or there looking for something shiny for there nest. They pick up all kinds of things like spoons, pens, alu. foil, anything that glitters.

Here's one outside my kitchen window.
He just sat there making all these cool sounds.
I think he liked the echo it made.

Then he noticed me in the window and just sat there staring for a wile.

"Get out of the box paleface, the sound is a lot better out here. Hmm.... tasty eyes."

Mark. Nice playing. You should be proud, man. Fran I don't think I know you but hey, sounds good to me.

Thanks a lot for the compliment Stu.

Fran is a top guitar player with a lot of experience. He's got some tunes here at MacIdol and more at MacJams. If you want to hear the best chicken skin blues harp on the internet, at least that I have found, and some excellent guitar check out The Big Blues by Fran.

Great pictures Mark! They are magnificent creatures don't you think?

[MarkOla]

They always amaze me.
One thing they do drives me crazy. When there on my roof and slide around,
it sounds like fingernails on a chalk board.

How's it going with the harmonica. Did you download the original?

[toots]

Here's my jam on the same piece, Worldjammer Two. Fran Dagostino is indeed a super guitar player. If you're in the Boston area, he's going to be playing with his band at the Sittin' Bull Pub in Maynard this Thursday. I would be there, but I unfortunately have to go for a colonoscopy on Friday...

[rcandrews]

one thing about this style of music is its free flowin spirit and accessibilty that takes it into a realm of the possible.

i like all the takes on this piece.

nice one mark and james

[clanger]

Hope all goes well with that on Friday James.

[MarkOla]

Nice toots.
It´s hard to imagine that´s the same guitar track. Starting off with the bell sound sets off a different mood.
Would be nice to see Fran... ... ... .. .. .. . . . to far.
Good luck.


Thanks RC.
BTW loved your Ghost story, truly deep.
