Default Pretty Girl Milking a Cow
This is a shortened version of El McMeen's arrangement from his Celtic Treasures collection. It's recorded with my McIlroy A20. I think this is the first time I have recording a tune with it. It's been cased most of the last 6 months (the strings are 6 months old too). 'Bout time I played it

About 10 years ago I looked forward to being old enough to retire and spend more time playing and recording. What I didn't anticipate is my hands wanting to retire too

It is what is.

If I asked Siri to play me a song with a guitar that sounds opposite of a Gibson J45, this might be it!

Lush, envelops you. Great playing Barry. Real pretty

HI Barry,
This music is so romantic, and makes me sentimental.
Your guitar playing does not have the "retired" sound, and really done wonderfully.
I am also enjoying the magnificent castles and scenes.
I love this production.
Thank you.
Rene

Yeah, getting old sucks, but like you say, it is what is is.
You still produce, and make available to us all, much more than some of us will ever do.
Thanks,
Mike
