Goodnight Irene, with Dick Gaughan
Dick is a great singer of original and traditional songs. and I toured the UK in 2014 and it was a wonderful time. We had known each other in passing for years but now we got close. We settled on this great Leadbelly song as a closer because we had each been singing it for years. This clip was filmed by our old friend Reg Dyer, a Welshman who used to run a folk club that everybody played at. Thank you Reg.

Stranger In Me

very cool version of my song by Michael Hedges
Michael and I were friends. I sent him this song shortly after I wrote it and he flipped. I wish the sound were better but it’s the only version I’ve ever found.
