Don't be Afraid of the Dark No More

Mark's been working on the tune I sent him a while back. He's a cunning linguist!

Thanks mate

Dear Santa...

I've been very good this year so please could you bring me an 'Orange Crush mini amp'?

Orange Micro Crush Mini Electric Guitar Combo Amp

I had a bash at one of these bad boys the other day, and for a wooden box the size of a digital radio they pack a bit of a wallop, so please santa!

What's Santa got in his enormous sack for you little boy?

Adieu Sweet Lovely Nancy

Finally started to get this going on the banjo. It's a simple chord structure but it's a bugger to get the changes in the right place - as always!
Listen!

Audio Boo!

Listen!

Just discovered that you can post non Apple stuff to Audio Boo now! It's a bit like Youtube for audio! no more hosting of audio files and struggling to find a player it's all there in one place. You can also link it through to your Twitter, Posterous, facebook blah blah.
But the interesting thing is that you can record direct to Audio Boo through the site!,  and the players sexy too, and......

Sorry over excited!

Have a look http://audioboo.fm/NorthernBanjoBoy

Little Ditty - PB Guttenberg

The beauty of the Internet is that it makes collaboration so much easier and you can be creative with people that you've never met.
PB took the Little Ditty tab and gave it some words and suddenly it sounds like a real old-time dance tune.
Thanks mate.

Little Ditty Tab

PB asked for the tab for Little Ditty, here it is. In case my tab skills aren't up to snuff, you play the first eight bars twice. I think that's what the double dots mean.
