I've looked at many of these on side trips from the bluegrass messengers' site. They're really impressive Richie (and like Steve says you do seem to find a lot of pretty women in the songs!). I've never had any talent for art (at school I was top in every subject except art, for which I was something like 23rd of a class of 30! I eventually managed to trade it for Russian - I was top in that!) and I can only admire those that have.

(Richie - It's also interesting to me that you know Ricardo Cobo (and studies with Shearer)- I have some recordings of Brouwer by him (Cobo), and when I was learning El Decameron Negro, it was his recording of it on youtube that I favoured).

It's a wonder you have time for all the ballad work as well as painting and BM! Best wishes Richie.
