I don't have time currently to listen to most performances posted here, but I couldn't turn away from a 12-string playing blues--and with slide too.

That was fine performance of a fine song.

Hi Toby,

You know, I had that same model Harmony 12-string that I bought in 1966 when I graduated from high school. I used that Harmony 12-string as my only guitar for 3 years until I got my Martin D-35 6-string in 1969. I traded that Harmony and some money for a used 1972 Guild F212 in 1975. I just recently gave that Guild F212 to my oldest son.

You sure make that old Harmony 12-string sing, Toby. It sounds great played bottle neck like that! Very well done!

- Glenn

Toby, I had never really had a desire to own a 12 string guitar....until just now. This was fantastic. Such a great blues feel.

Terrific Toby! Quite the coincidence that I was listening to the original this morning in the car. Popped up on my Spotify shuffle.
