Reply To: Introduce Yourself
Hi folks
Mick here – another new initiate into the JoCo universe. I first heard the uke version of Tom Cruise Crazy on the ukecast, then about 2 days later completed Portal and loved Still Alive. Hearing two great songs (almost) side-by-side by the same artist I’ve never heard of is usually a pretty good indication that I should check out more, and having now read through a stack of forum posts and heard a LOT more music via the Thing-a-week archives, I’m in deep.
The closest artists in my collection to JoCo are Mike Keneally and Nick Harper – both worth a listen if you want to widen your record collection… Currently listening to Sandy Denny – hard to believe it’s 30 years since she died, and is still relatively unknown.
I have a couple of musical things on the go at the moment, play the guitar and ukulele, learning (very slowly) on the theremin, and will undoubtedly do something to make use of J’s cc licence at some point soon.
And I live in Scotland, so am hoping that the UK visit in October is a tour and not just a brief stop-over!
