Thank you so much for your insightful comments! First, I don't know why I have missed this before, but I didn't know you were an artist. I visited your website with my wife, and we were both mesmerized by your wonderful and detailed paintings! My wife's comment rather quickly on as we viewed your paintings is that you do water beautifully! You also do people very well! Thank you so much for introducing us to your artwork! You have a beautiful website! My wife has done most of her work in pen and ink combined with water colors, though sometimes she uses pastels. Her parents tended to use the same media. They met in art school in Cleveland, OH. My wife and I both grew up in Cleveland, and we are both reasonably familiar with SE Michigan. I spent a week around Christmas in the late 1980s in Grayling resolving some industrial equipment issues at a Weyerhaueser mill there. Regarding your comments to "Vincent," you have pointed out something that I didn't even realize, that I was leading the song with my voice and following with the guitar, like a good accompanist would do. But now that you bring this up, I see that you are right. This is probably the result of working on this song so intently during this last week. Just one person and one guitar takes some pretty in depth preparation to make it sound decent, so I have to work at this. Thanks again for your generous and insightful comments and for introducing us to your work! - Glenn

Thank you for reinforcing Roger's generous comments! I appreciate your vote of confidence on this song. Regarding being prolific in terms of these recordings, I have been trying to get something down about once per week. I am lucky to be retired now from full time work, though I do work remotely part time, 2-3 hours per day, almost every week day for my old company. But I get up at normal work time and am at my desk by 7:30, sometimes earlier, so I can get 2-3 hours of interesting work in and then have the rest of the day to play hooky. I do 2 or 3 hours of physical work around our property most every day, except today, when it was raining horribly all day long. In fact, I had to abort quite a few takes on my recordings of "Vincent" today because at times the rain was coming down so hard that it was creating too much noise for recording. But 2-3 hours of computer work and 2-3 hours of physical work still leaves a fair amount of time for music every day, and I am really enjoying that. Also, I'm feeling like I want to get as much recorded as possible because I'm getting older (69). Between arthritis and hoping my voice holds out, I figure I had better get these things recorded while I still can. It's very gratifying that the folks at the AGF have been offering their support for my recordings. I thank you for that, too, Nailpicker! - Glenn

Another brilliant performance and one of my favorite songs Glenn.
Do you take requests? I think I'd like to hear your version of 'Ain't No Sunshine' by Bill Withers.

Yes, I have taken a few requests and made videos from them. Let me put Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" on my list. One never knows how a particular song fits a particular player or singer, but I am willing to give it a try. I have always liked that song! Thanks Bruce! - Glenn
