The Galway Shawl

Quick and dirty arrangement (more or less improvised) as I have always played this song in D, and in DADGAD, but my little Avalon A32 had been left in open F#, and somehow it seemed a nice key for it.

Lovely recording.
Your vocals is so nice, really fit this song well.
And your guitar playing is simply beautiful.

That's really nice of you to say Robbie, thank you!

I'm actually in and out of studios that I could never afford to use all the time for work, and I'd been thinking how much fun it would be to get in and do a bunch of 'old' songs.

Great job Rick.

I have an Avalon L32 also, great guitars.

Thank you Barry! This was the A32 on this video... great little box, too. I am a huge Avalon fan. I hope to commission a baritone 12 string build at the end of the year... it'll be their first

You do nice work, Rick. No doubt about it. Really a pleasure to sit back and listen to.

Thank you my friend, really appreciate the listens and the support. Gigs have really been picking up this tourist season, and I'm finding that I'm really enjoying playing and singing again.
