Heartbreakingly Beautiful, 22 May 2013

I can play a couple of these but didn't realise Elizabeth Cotton had recorded them.

I just love this album. You should read about the life of the woman - a really interesting and sad story. Please don't be put off by some of the vocals - remember she recorded these in her 70's! I just love the woman and I bet The Lord (if you believe in him) had a big smile on his face when Elizabeth Cotton got to the pearly gates singing "When I get home" - it certainly made me cry and smile at the same time.

If you are a music lover you really owe it to yourself to listen to this.

Good for the price with just one small niggle, 15 April 2013

I found this good for the price.

It takes one AA battery which, despite the power saving, seems to run out about once every couple of weeks (niggle No. 1 - but I use rechargeable batteries).

Also, it doesn't do so well on grained or patterned surfaces. It's not bad, but just has a slight drift, which can be annoying.

So, overall I am happy. If I was getting a mouse to… Read more
