    Wowza, another one? I’m still in thrall to the first two Cromarty records you’ve shared. Thank you for unearthing these and bringing to my attention a singular artist previously unknown to me. xoxo

    in total agreement with poster wilder k

    how has this guy flown under the radar for so long

    a giant

    this post is interesting.. a kids lp, but his grassroots lp is the classic

    like to hear a cleaner copy wind in the heather… reissue?

    this guy was/is (an) unheard gem

    i’ve mentioned him to longtime “left coast” guitarists,
    and they havent heard of him either..
    as one put

    “sad to say”

    great blog work
    kudos

    cheers

    I love this album! A little-appreciated masterpiece of kids’ music.

    I have only a bad tape copy of the LP, and would love to know where I can get a clean digital copy. Feel free to contact me if you know of a source. Does anyone know if Thistle records has re-released it?

    Anyone have any knowledge about what tunings George was using?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
