Your voice sounds like a bright string of steel in the dark. I am having a really bad night and I found this and it just made me want to fight the angst. Thank you.

Fantastic, strong and melodious! I also warble and play the mandolin, what be this instrument, it looks a good deal on the bigger side than mine, thanks for the song

[@hughjosephfeely]

@@seangrogan3622 thanks for listening brother and for the kind comment 🙏 I’m playing an Irish bouzouki, it’s close to an octave mandolin, (different scale length), can be tuned the same as a mandolin but I’m tuned to GDAD! That’s used in Irish music a lot! Are you a Dick Gaughan fan?

[@seangrogan3622]

@@hughjosephfeely Thanks for the info, I will definitely check out the Irish bouzouki and see if I can get one for myself. Different tunings are great to play around with, sometimes the unimaginable comes out! I was mostly raised on Irish music, so I wasn't aware of Dick Gaughan until quite recently, but he is fantastic, and it's great that people like you are keeping his music alive.

[@hughjosephfeely]

@@seangrogan3622 thank you, they’re great instruments to play around with alright! Yes I’m a big Gaughan fan, more covers to come! I also have a version of “Workers’ Song” on my channel if you’d like to check it out!

[@pelister1980]

You are SOMETHING brother!

[@hughjosephfeely]

@@pelister1980 ah thank you very much, thanks for subscribing too 🙏

If you google the diggers movement you will find out more info

[@jacintalyons]

Love it ❤

[@hughjosephfeely]

@@jacintalyons thanks Jacinta 🙏

[@hopefulguitarist7532]

That's an awesome harmonically flowing rhythm you get from your bouzouki! (For mere mortals who want to play along with an acoustic guitar in standard tuning: Capo 1 : E major, B major, and A major)k

[@hughjosephfeely]

Ahh thank you very much, glad to hear you’re rocking along on the guitar! I play in a trio sometimes and the guitar sounds excellent accompanying this one, gives it a hell of a backbone!

[@yellowstonee]

Really liked this song!

[@hughjosephfeely]

@@yellowstonee it’s a great tune, I got it from Dick Gaughans handful of earth album 🙏 its a great album, have you heard of it?

[@kyleswitzler1564]

[@matthewcoyle5277]

Hugh can I have a video where you introduce your instrument I don’t know how to say it maybe a video where you talk some about the song your going to sing …. I want an acoustic song hall feel …
