Quick, someone tell Kev what happens when you call a Scotsman English before Stuart gets here...! :laugh:Man that made my morning! Hot Tea, Englishman playing and singing and old fab four from Liverpool song.
Kev
Many thanks to all for the nice words. I guess the moral of this video is - know how you're going to end! I really hadn't thought about it 'til I got there and by then it was too late

Willem - Thanks a lot! This is a fun song to play, it'd be great to hear your version.
Vanessa - I've no doubt that you could nail this. If you've not tried playing harmonica much it'd be a good one to start with. Nothing tricky in the guitar work lets you concentrate on the harmonica part - and lots of repeats! Thanks for your support again.
Chris - I hadn't intended it to be so revealing! Just for the record, what I say to myself at the beginning is "A bit of fun". Not that you could tell that by the deer in headlights look on my face! Nice pic - I reckon I've still got some work to do on the 'tache. Thanks for the kind words - as usual.
Shel - Ha Who indeed???? I'm glad you enjoyed it - can't wait to see your post.
Daryl - Thanks again for the support. You've done a lot to help turn this thread into what it is. Good job.
Suziko! - What Scottish accent? Thanks for watching and the kind words. You've always been a great support and I really appreciate it.
Jason - you are very kind. Playing harmonica is a LOT of fun - you should give it a go. It sounds great over your Doolin' Daltons post! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Dennis - yeah, I must admit - even I could hear that. A lot of 'OOOO's in there! Glad it didn't spoil your enjoyment
Kevin - Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.........what did I ever do to you? After all the nice things I've said about your videos..................I'm really glad you enjoyed it - in spite of everything (I'm Scottish!)
Craig - thanks a lot. You're right - when you first start EVERYTHING becomes more difficult, including breathing. But it comes along - you really should try it.
Jim - Thanks. I took my inspiration from your Dylan post. Glad you enjoyed it.
Chris -

Well Stuart, that was a fun video, good strumming and certainly congrats on the harmonica. Even though you said you had the deer look at the beginning you gave me more the impression that you were relaxed enough to have a real good time, well I sure did.

Stuart - really enjoyed the song with the harp added. Loved it.

Kevin, to answer your question, in "Cajun" names that end in -ot, -eau or -eaux, the last syllable is pronounced with a long o sound, as in oh, doe, foe, or throw. The major accent is usually on the first syllable. So Thibadeaux is tib' ah doe . Thinking about it now, in the song Jambalaya the last syllable is stressed for musical reasons, but not normally in speaking.
Fontenot in the song is pronounced font eh noe , but in speaking many times it will sound like only two syllables, as font' noe. Other common Cajun names are Breaux (broe), Simoneaux, and Bijeaux that end in the 'oh' sound.
If I had the technology (a webcam, I guess?) I'd happily send you a short clip.
The lesson on how Cajuns originated in France is a lesson for a whole different website!

Dermot - glad to hear I've provided some motivation. Does this mean we can expect to see you play harmonica some time soon?
Marc - it seems to me that we see things in ourselves that others don't see. I never think that I look relaxed or comfortable recording my videos (just one of the reasons that I can't watch them!) and that it must make the viewer uncomfortable. Fortunately that doesn't appear to be the case. I'm glad you enjoyed it and happy to see you around a bit more often.
Bob - thanks for watching and the kind words.
Kevin - no worries :laugh:
Jerry - very glad you enjoyed it, thanks.
And Daryl - I had intended to address your point about greenscreen/multi-tracking....apologies for not doing so. While I have often thought about doing that and no doubt will get round to it at some point - this didn't feel like the right time or song. I just wanted to keep this one simple. And I'm not really one for dipping my toe in the water - when I do get round to it, it'll be something far too complex and elaborate for a beginner, most likely with some instruments that I don't actually play!
