About Me

About me? Not much to tell really. I live in the country in the south west of Scotland. I live in the hills and enjoy tending my vegetable patch and playing my guitar. Sometimes I like to visit the nearest town and play my guitar for the locals in exchange for drink. I like to play cards, for money and drink if possible and also dominos. You can’t beat the dominos. I guess it goes without saying that I love to drink and gamble. I don’t like the city much. My brother JB lives there and it might suit that old hoss but not me. To quote Lightnin’ Hopkins : ‘ I’m country. Can’t be nothing but country. The city’s a cold land for the blues. But the city has the money. If you sellin’ blues you gotta sell in the city.’ So I pop through to see old JB now and again to give him some recordings but that’s it. Anyhow, JB has been kind enough to sign me to his label despite our many fallings out over the years. Hope you like my stuff. If you do feel free to send money and other items. Just message me for the address.
