    To Carson’s dad - I’ve been following Carson for about a year now. I’ve heard just about all of his UA-cam recordings. It’s not just his mellow voice. He’s a good storyteller. He knows how to make you feel the song. I’m 62 and I notice a lot of the comments for Carson and Josh are from people in my age group, but lots of younger people too. Good music appeals to everyone. I’m sure your proud. I’ve heard Skylar too, and love his voice as well!

    Good effort Carson, keep it up, we're enjoying it.
    We all had tickets for John Prine's concert in Glasgow at the back end of last year - which was postponed due to John's health and we all got rain cheques for the new date this year. Then when we heard he'd caught it, this infernal plague, we all knew it looked bad for him with his history. He'll be missed but I'll keep playing his songs in the folk clubs and pubs like I've been doing for years and years. What a song writer!
