Your "New Stuff" is terrific Mikael! I agree with the others about your 
beautiful harp work on "Wayfaring Stranger" but I also loved the rest of 
the samples, too. Good on all of Ya!

As to old-time music, I have several playing opportunities -- none, to 
my dismay involving my true love, straight acoustic blues. Most of my 
playing "out" is done in Bluegrass circles and in my area of Western 
Colorado that also means a good measure of Old-Timey as we call it and 
an occasional Blues tune. Not much distinction is made between Bluegrass 
and Old-Timey and many festivals are including both. I of course play 
harmonicas most of the time. But I also love to contribute some Rhythm 
Bones on tunes at every appropriate opportunity and I throw in some 
occassional Jaw Harp. Love it all!

Please keep us up to date with more "New Stuff!"
