        Enjoy! I sure did playing with the amazing Linda. We rehearsed this together only about 10 minutes beforehand but she’s so good!

          Very nice, guys. I’ve never heard the song before, sounds kind of country-ish.

            Great to see you out playing live Brian! Acoustic guitar and violin such a beautiful combination. Very melodic, well performed. All the best! 😎🎸😎

              That was a treat! Great playing and singing and wonderful violin accompaniment.

                Impressive, lovely song-you both accompany each other wonderfully. She plays a nice fiddle-I do enjoy hearing you sing and play. Very refreshing… Thanks for sharing.

                    Awww, that’s no fair. You have your own personal violinist. Sounded great together Cloughie. I kind of wanted to hear you play a simple rhythm part during the violin break, but it still worked. It’s great that your getting air time in that place and having fun with it.

                    Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.
