Gene,
Glad you finally picked this up. This album was all I listened to
for the most part many years ago, and it too changed my life.
Find that quiet time quickly because the solo disc is simply
amazing. I thought I knew these songs backwards and fowards,
but hearing them stripped down like this just made me appreciate
even more Paddy's talent.
A friday treat indeed.
