Subject: RE: Review: Uncommon Sailor Songs CD (Ipcar)
I think I can claim to be Charley's oldest (longest-term, not age) fan, having first heard him sing and play 43 years ago. As such, I'm delighted to have this cd to go with my 3 versions of the Roll And Go album and a living room tape made back in 1966. I hope he'll record more often.

Rick, I don't believe one can have too much banjo in most contexts. Charley's style is pretty uncluttered, but it took me many years to figure it out. I enjoy it as much as his singing. Of course the concertina is nice too.

I am a sentimental sort, so my favorite song is "Pastures of Memories". My wife agrees.

And I think his producer is beautiful.
