Alan Day Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 It was not that long ago that she was knocking on my door asking me what she had just purchased.. She has developed into an incredible player and this set of tunes shows her technical ability is reaching new heights. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Day Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I do not know of any musical background, but she is a World authority on knitting machines and knitting patterns for them, so she has a mind well suited for the Duet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mussels on a Tree Martyn Wyndham-Read Fellside Recordings FECD84 (CD, UK, 1992) Recorded by Paul Adams and Graham Bell in September-October 1991; Produced by Paul Adams Musicians Martyn Wyndham-Read: vocals, acoustic guitar; Linda Adams: banjo, piano, harmony vocal [11]; Phil Beer: fiddle, mandolin; Iris Bishop: duet concertina, accordion; Vin Garbutt: whistle; Maggie Goodall: vocals; Jez Lowe: cittern, harmonica, Appalachian dulcimer; The Wilson Family: vocals [8] That is over 30 years ago.

Alan Day Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Perhaps I should have said "It seems like only yesterday". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
