Recorded last night at a meeting of the Maccukulele Club at the Boarhound pub in Macclesfield, Cheshire. The club meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 7.30.

Rob Collins and I are playing The Wabash Cannonball, a 19th American song about a fictional train. Rob and I had about 15 seconds rehearsal time, so the train is going pretty slowly.

Check out Rob's YT channel at www.youtube.com/user/tinguitardotcom (also his website).
