I have a Framus Texan, have been playing folk music a long time.

The Texan has a slender neck and I have small hands, so it is the only guitar, apart from one exactly the same, that I have ever been able to play properly. You can tell I used to play in a trio, I have the head of it up by my left ear.

It is about 40 years old now but still in one piece.

I have a wide repertoire, but include quite a few songs from the isles, Kishmul's galley, the Lewis bridal song, Mingulay boat song, etc. but use about 7 cords and a capo for the accompaniment.
