Truth to be told, in plain English, that photo was stretched vertically a bit, my head is not quite that Celtic-shaped. (i.e. tall and narrow) The nose remark is nothing personal, kat--the literal meaning of "Cameron" is in fact "squinty-nose" and I see a distinct family resemblance in many who share that surname with me without being related within the past 150 years or so.

"Anna Grace" like "Spring On the Mississippi" and almost all the instrumentals on the site/album (except "Gogama") are played in DADGAD on the guitar. The rest are in standard.

Like many mp3.com albums, this is still somewhat of a work in progress. In the near future, soon as I have time/money (ha) I will be doing some more work on some of these tracks. For one, Anna Grace which I have never really gotten a finished recording of that I liked. (The current version up there is from a cassette dub of a digital recording--I'll remaster it directly from digital to mp3 as one of the details in the near future.)

I'm also thinking I'll split the content into two CDs when there are a few more tracks ready: one all-Celtic and one more roots-folk. (Canadiana?)

Once again, it's heartening to hear people say nice things, thanks all.
