Episode 7 of the weekly Andy Roberts music podcast series features the 12 string guitar again, with three original self written songs, and three others by Michael Chapman, Cat Stevens and Loudon Wainwright. We had some problems with the live Ustream again this week, problems with time taken to login, with the chat room stopping working and with interruptions to the listener stream but the recording happened fine so the audio podcast and indeed the saved video file are unaffected. I would like to be able to provide a better live experience though, with fewer barriers to interaction so I may well start to try out some alternatives to Ustream as soon as possible, for example Bambuser.
If you have any suggestions for alternatives to Ustream, or ways to improve it then please come forth in the comments here.

Podcast Episode 7 Show Notes
Show notes and information for Podcast Episode 7 broadcast on August 17th, published on August 18th 2010.
All songs performed with the 12 string vintage Guild acoustic guitar except 06 on the Ibanez 6 string
Postcards from Scarborough – Michael Chapman
Postcards is probably Mike Chapman’s most frequently covered songs, and I enjoy playing it on the 12 string guitar, flat picking style.
The video below is from Havering Folk Club, January 2009 or possibly August 2008.
Shifting Sands – Andy Roberts
Here’s an old demo video of Shifting Sands which was the first song in a sequence which I now refer to as “the Spanish songs” or the album Gernika
Wild World – Cat Stevens Yusuf Islam
This is an old busking song which has some nice runs on the 12 string guitar.
The placeholder video is a six string version, which I’ll replace later.
The Last Nail – Andy Roberts
The Last Nail – info
I am The Way – Loudon Wainwright
From Attempted Moustache
The Loudon Wainwright Special was episode 4
Winter in Andalucia – Andy Roberts
Winter in Andalucia ( or Andalusia ) is one of the songs on my Sampler CD
I wonder if it might be good to have a simple index of which songs on each podcast somewhere, without the notes and videos etc. just for reference.
