GUEST,raymond greenoaken, to my ears Martin Simpson, technically excellent, also plays with feeling and knows to express a song as a slice of life. With the link the OP posted, all I hear is a cascade of notes with no musicality or emotion. There is a world of difference.

Big Al, I have no idea what you're trying to imply. Martin Simpson has been working away for decades, producing music of the highest quality, and deserves kudos for that.
