...allbeit on the Internet. I was looking at Richard Thompson's website and there is a songbook in the works. One Martin Allcock is transcribing the songs. Went to the link to his page and was looking over his "Gear" section and he has an Ovation Mandocello. Has some interesting things to say about mandocellos in general. I'm not familiar with Allcock, Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull Alumnus...

Martin Allcock

Click on the gear link, he has a lot of cool stuff.....

I've seen Martin several times (both with Fairport and Tull).

He's no musical slouch by any means . . .


I looked through his Gear section as well, Paul.
That LesPaul gold-top bouzouki's a hoot! :-)

Great minds...

I like the fretless basses with the markers on the top of the neck "where the notes are" not where the frets would be!

What RT DVD are y'all talking about? I bought "Live in Providence" one at his recent show in Dallas. Also bought the "Ducknapped" CD...

I ordered the Fairport Convention Songbook One v2.0 from his web site. I had an old Fairport songbook (Leige and Lief and Toss the Feathers) that disapeared somewhere down the line....
When I got the e-mail it said there was a mistake on Page 28 and a link to get the corrected sheet music. Had to download this Scorch Software

It's a pretty cool music score reader....

The corrected song is "Crazy Man Michael"

Craay Man Michael
