Cherokee Lake (original)
 

Wrote this tune after I visited my old man last fall in Bean Station, TN...had a good time drinking bourbon, fishing, skipping stones and talking about life at the lake. He'll never admit to it, being an ex-Navy chief, but he fell out of his kayak and I had to drag him to shore, baha!

Hope you all enjoy. Played on my beloved McIlroy A-36c (Italian Alpine top, rosewood b/s)

Oh boy, Dustin, that was special! You can really execute on that fretboard. All I can say is, "watch out Don Ross"!....(and others!).
Exceptional..............

Thank you for listening brotherman!

Wow!

That was just wonderful! What a terrific sounding piece -- beautifully written, beautifully played.

That was REALLY well done! Totally loved it!

I like the song and great playing !

There's a lot of Tommy Emmanuel in it also, you played a lot of his songs too? :D

Nice! I used to canoe camp on Cherokee Lake and now I live in Tidewater.

Will confess this tune is very derived from Tommy's playing and I borrowed the tuning from Don Ross' "Berkeley Springs" :) thank you for the kind words fellas! Bob you should stop by a gig sometime!

that was cool, thanks Dustin for posting

Thank you for listening, my friend

Very (very) nice, Dustin. I thoroughly enjoyed that! Great tune, lovely setting, and a beautiful guitar...who could ask for more?

Gorgeous, man!! Loved every bit. And that McIlroy sounds fantastic. Played a couple in Galway and had a hard time leaving without one... Really well done.

Thanks man! I really love that guitar, it has such a nice feel in my hands and loves a light-touch. Dermot McIlroy is a really down-to-earth fella, too..his guitars are my favorite out of Avalon, Lowden, McIlroy. Love the versatility!

Excellent song. The setting for the video is perfect too.

That was really good! When are you going to sell the notation so we can cover you!

Amazing. Inspiring.
