    You lads really nailed it. Such lovely relaxed phrasing, lots of space for expression, very complementary and well worked out - especially the clever bridging sections - but still totally natural. My hat's off to you both.
    There's an extra verse of "I Know You Rider" that I picked up from a John Renbourn album back in the seventies. He does it as what seems to be a very technical fingerpicking piece in A but it's quite easy
