Shaun, I met you 15 years ago when you were busking at 1st street station in Rehoboth beach Delaware. I was 10 years old, you were playing out front of my parents store studios S. You blew all of our minds, even mine at 10 and i had not picked up an instrument yet. Fast forward in 27 now and been playing and studying music for a couple years now. Your name still gets passed around, thinking back to that special summer…. I hope our paths cross again. Wish you the best man ❤

Media famous guitarists are cool but the ones like him who's name travels on the winds has always been so much cooler, like the great travelling bluesman of the yesteryear.

Thank you so much, brother! I actually didn't write either piece.. The first is a traditional Irish piece called "Merrily Kissed the Quakers Wife" that I learned from Sam Pacetti. Amazing guitarist!!! :) and the second was written by Andy Mckee, very innovative player! :)

merrily kissed the quaker the tune is called. Pierre Bensusan arranged it first for guitar, he took it from a Planxty album.

This piece is called Merrily Kissed The Quaker. There's a version on guitar by the master Pierre Bensusan, as well as a more traditional band version by Planxty, on Spotify. It is not this cover of course - but the piece is wonderful in every rendition. :)
